We got on our bikes to complete the second leg of Route 1. Deciding to incorporate our day's ride with a night of camping, we drove to Aigle to set up camp in the local caravan park. Rather than take off from Lausanne (the point where we last finished) we chose to ride downhill from Aigle to Lausanne and then caught the train back to our campsite.
It was a fantastic bike path, taking us through apple orchards, alongside the River Rhone, through forests, along the lake, up through vineyards and finally into the very hilly city of Lausanne. It was a hot and humid day, with a tropical downpour of rain as well. Hardly the weather we expected to encounter in Switzerland!
This section was about 60kms and we completed it in about 3.5 hours. More photos available on Flickr.
