Since Florian is home, and it's finally acting like spring (or maybe summer, hard to tell), we decided to go for an afternoon bike trip together. I recently acquired a bike, and I'm enjoying being able to ride around (although I am really quite bad at going up hills). So yesterday we set off from my house, and started riding towards Germany (yes, we did cross the boarder eventually, but we weren't in Germany for long). Near Bülach (where I live) we found the river Glatt, which we followed to the Rhein. We crossed the river into Germany, and then rode on (and crossed the boarder again) until we found a nice spot for lunch. Then we rode through Hüntwangen, Wil (ZH), and finally Rafz. From Rafz we biked through Flaach (which spelled with one "a" would mean "flat" in German, which it was not!!), Dättlikon, and ended in Pfungen. Then we caught a train back to Bülach. Here are some pictures of our grand adventure.
The view from the bench where we ate lunch. Not sure if what we could see was Switzerland or Germany, maybe both. We were on the Swiss side at the time.
Enjoying the sun
My awesome bike!!! (and Florian's awesome bike too)

Hmmmmm... where are we?
The grass is super green, but the trees haven't quite caught up yet. Spring sprang on us suddenly.
