Already one week I am on the road and can check off the first items from my long list.  France has shown itself - except for the weather - from its wonderful side. All the beautiful cities like Lyon, Bordeaux or Annecy as well as small villages, forests, lakes and passes have given me a really good time.  Now France is behind me, and I have reached the Atlantic Ocean and Spain. In the next few days, I will continue to Portugal. I am happy that I could already gain so many positive impressions and my biggest problem was that I could partly hardly stop pedaling. Now many coastal sections and hilly terrain await me . I hope to see more beautiful places and I'm excited to see what all awaits me. With the ascent of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in France, I'm still waiting until conditions allow it.
