Bike Trip Day 8 - Imst, Austria to Basel, Switzerland, 12 km - Wedday, June 20

Ufda, I woke up this morning after a sleepless night and exhausted after seven days of biking. Because I had checked the internet the night before I knew that Maria would love to have me and even had her friend Martin (from Denmark) and his girlfriend visiting. It was an easy decision; take the train to Basel.

It was a lovely ride and I knew the Swiss train system well enough to not get pushed around by the mean Swiss conductors. When arriving in Basel, somehow I had been brilliant enough to have a map of Basel and was able to bike straight to Maria's new apartment. Her roommate let me in and soon her friend Martin and his girlfriend, Pia were home.

One of the great things about Maria is she has great friends. I had met Martin back in Seattle a few times so it was good to visit again. Then Maria and her boyfriend Reinhold came home and Maria brought home loads of food from a fancy Roche party. The five of us fell in together and had a great evening visiting.
