Europe Tour 2002, 3780 - the map

After the successful first bicycle tour from Stuttgart to Nice, the virus was well developed. The study in energy technique is finished with the submission of the diploma thesis and renewable transportation and living experience was needed. The first part - shut-down- the cell phone,  which is in industrial countries nowadays almost a part of a person, is needed. Take the watch off, is the second part. Why do you need to know the time, to live without time schedule makes life easier, what you want. It’s not difficult to recognize the sunrise and sunset to figure out the start and end of a day. If you count until seven, that’s Sunday, shops will be closed to by the fuel for your transportation vehicle the food-. So again, Frank and me started to next huger Tour in Europe.

Starting from Giessen in Hessian, we travelled along the Lahn river to Koblenz, then along the Moser river,  Saône river and Rhône river to Mediterranean See. Passing by the famous worth seeing cities on the coast such as Cannes, Nice, Monaco until Pisa and Florence until we were heading north through south Tirol, Austria and back hone to Germany. Overall 3780km during the time period time period  19.07.02 to 24.08.02.
