This 1000 km bike touring adventure is the second episode of my cycling trip to Monaco. I am touring Europe on a bicycle which started in Germany and going to end in Tarifa, Spain. Cycling across Europe alone, sleeping in a tent every night in a different place and experiencing life as it comes day by day, is a unique adventure.
Watch here how my bike touring adventure began:
• Cycling Europe Alone
The ride to Monaco was much harder than I expected. In this episode, I woke up in a vineyard after asking the owners if I could pitch up my tent and spend the night there. After waking up, I had my breakfast, packed up my tent and headed south, with the destination Monte Carlo viewpoint.
I rode the bike until I reached the mediteranean see and the first major city, Nice. Cycling through Nice was very uplifting and I could already see the mountains that I will have to climb uphill. As soon as I reached the hills that were leading me to the viewpoint, I knew this won't be an easy task. I previously stopped at the supermarket, buying 10 liters of water and food, so being fully packed, made the journey uphill even harder.
At some point I had to push the bike, because riding was IMPOSSIBLE. After 15 kilometers and 3 hours later, I finally reached the Monte Carlo viewpoint and its majestic view over the entire country of Monaco. Enjoy watching the video
