It was already hot by the time we were ready to ride from the apartment this morning. There are two buildings and a swimming pool on the site. The one behind us has outdoor staircases, but ours does not. We were heading for Sentier des Cimes, a tree top walk in Mont-Tremblant National Park. ItContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 6 – St-Jovite, Sentier des Cimes, Centre des villégiature Tremblant”

Mont-Tremblant – Day 5 – Guérette to Mont-Laurier
The day began with a flat tire for me, caused by breaking the valve when I tried to pump the tire up. Fortunately, it happened in the apartment and I was able to replace the tube relatively quickly. After breakfast in the apartment, we picked up lattes at a different café in the village. ThenContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 5 – Guérette to Mont-Laurier”
Mont-Tremblant – Day 4 – Nominingue to Guérette
We had breakfast in the apartment, then drove to the other resort to check in, then to a coffee shop Mont-Tremblant Village to get lattes to drink while we drove to Nominingue, which is the northernmost point to which we cycled to last fall. I get the sense that the trail hasn’t officially opened yet.Continue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 4 – Nominingue to Guérette”

Cindy and I are heading out to complete the P’Tit Train du Nord, which is the 232 km, one way section, of the Route Vert 2 in Quebec. On the way, we will be stopping at my cousins’ in Cornwall, and on the way back, we will be stopping in Ottawa. Last fall on theContinue reading “Mont-Tremblant – Day 1-3 – And Cornwall”
Bratislava – Day 17
After breakfast together at the hotel, we decided to walk to the old town for hot chocolate. On the way we looked in the “new market” near the hotel. It was built in 1983 when the city needed a market space, because the old market had been re-purposed as studios for Slovak television. It isContinue reading “Bratislava – Day 17”
Bratislava – Day 15 – And Vienna
I got up at 6:30 today so I could get the train to Vienna at 8:37. The train runs hourly, and you buy a ticket to Vienna which you can use at any time. It cost €18, one way, including transporting a bike. It’s going to be another beautiful day with the temperature ranging fromContinue reading “Bratislava – Day 15 – And Vienna”
Bratislava – Day 13
It was a cool and sunny this morning so I sat indoors at the hotel restaurant. At one point I was the only one there. I feel as though I’ve hardly stopped to catch my breath since I’ve gotten here, and since I had technical difficulties with the blog yesterday, and ended up a dayContinue reading “Bratislava – Day 13”
Bratislava – Day 14 – And Hungary
I arose early today, and it was too cool to eat breakfast outside, and because I was in the dining room earlier than usual I found it very busy. I was out of the hotel by 8:45 AM. The goal today was to ride from Slovakia to Hungary, visit the Danubiana Art museum, and rideContinue reading “Bratislava – Day 14 – And Hungary”
Bratislava – Day 8
The day started beautifully, warm and sunny with a temperature of 14° rising to 20° this afternoon. I was able to sit on the terrace for breakfast, and the espresso beverage machine was working again. I decided to use bike share to explore the city today, stopping when something looked of interest to me. IContinue reading “Bratislava – Day 8”
Bratislava- Day 7 – And Austria
It rained overnight which meant that the furniture on the terrace was wet, so I had breakfast inside. And, all of the espresso beverage machines were out of order this morning. So I had to have brewed coffee. But these are very minor complaints. I was surprised that espresso beverages were included in the breakfastContinue reading “Bratislava- Day 7 – And Austria”
