Motorcycle Tour - Day 2 - Along The Way

The 2nd day of our trip had us leaving in the late morning. We headed east with Brunnig scheduled as our last stop for the day. The sun played hide and seek during the ride. When you're wearing black leather and you stop for a break....being out in the sun can really begin to fry you!





Here's a self taken photo while in transit. As you can see, I'm enjoying myself. :)






Switzerland is a fantastic place to do a motorcycle trip during the summer. The scenery is absolutely beautiful.









Here is a short video of the ride and view...sorry for the loud noise and shaky camera recording:











To give ourselves a break and stretch our legs, we stopped in a town called Brunnen which is right along Lake Lucerne. It's been said that Switzerland was first founded here.
August 1st is Switzerland's national holiday....the equivalent of what July 4th would be. Practically all the businesses are closed and the streets are filled with celebrations, good food, beer and pure merriment.
