Today we had a difficult decision to make. Either ride 185 km with good wind and have more time in the Monument Valley or stay on a longer but less busy road doing only 119 km, but then needing 2 days to get to Bluff. We decided to ride the shorter daytrip, but have more time to enjoy the scenery. It was well worth it. We rode through that countryside, that we Europeans do so much associate with the fascinating American West. It was breathtaking, we stopped again and again to take pictures.

| On Mars |
Somewhere on Mars we had our lunch. The ground was so flat and barren there, we imaginated ourselves on Mars.
A bit later we left New Mexico, which we will remember for its beautiful colours and cold mountains.
The route we took let us into Colorado and has only one hotel, the Indian run Ute Mountaind Casino. When we arrived, the manager made us a special price, 55$ for the night. So we have something left for the games......
Very often people know ahead that we are coming, not because we have called, but because they have passed us wit their cars. We are like aliens here, bikers at are this time of the year more than rare. We enjoy when someone comes up to us and tells us, that they had seen us, often it leads into a nice chat. And of course, then the people tell us, that they also had once been in Switzerland or Europe. Most liked Switzerland what makes us a bit proud.  |
