Switzerland and Iceland

It was an odd feeling to be back in Switzerland again! I never expected to be back so soon, but it was summer and great to be amongst friends again. I was able to gain a temporary contract at my old employer for 3 months between August and October 2014. Once I knew this would work out, I immediately put my next plans into action: an alpine crossing by mountainbike from Buchs SG in Switzerland  to Lake Garda in Italy over 7 days, and a 3 week cycle tour of Iceland. Iceland was tough to cycle but amazing and I hope to put some photos up here one day.

During 3 months of working in Switzerland, I decided my next big trip should be by bike. The southern half of Africa was one option, but in the end I settled on the idea of cycling Patagonia. I have never been to Latin America before and this will be my chance to learn a bit of Spanish too.
