Day 5- Thal to Bad Ragaz

A multinational day today passing through Switzerland, Austria and most of Lichtenstein.  That makes five countries so far as we have already visited France and Germany on this trip.

We had no mechanical problems today but it looks as though news of how lucrative we are to the Swiss bike trade seems to have spread ahead of us as bike shop owners are now approaching us touting for Business. As we were sitting having a snack outside the Coop at Diepoidsa,  Gabrielle came across for a chat and to find out where we'd were heading for. She then told us that her husband ran a bike shop just along the road and asked if there was anything we were needing. Unusually we were fine today, however we did get a Photo to add to our collection of Swiss bike shop owners.

Despite the mountains closing in all around us throughout today's journey, this has been the flattest day so far since we have generally followed the flood banks of the Rhine.  That should change tomorrow!!

Today's miles - 51
Total miles- 213 (and Sandra's legs are feeling it!)
