No Country of Flat Lands

After 3 days of biking to work all starts to make sense... Firstly, there is no hurry the hill is not going anywhere. Secondly, look around, there some sights to be seen from elevated places. Thirdly, you will not find a sign saying that the road has incline or decline, because it always has and it would take about a year's worth of global production of sheet metal to put up signs for this.

Went shopping by bike yesterday and got lost of course. It was easy going downhill and no time to look around when you are doing 65km/h. Coming back was interesting - since it's uphill, you really don't want it to bee the wrong road and putting off the ascent led me almost to city center from where it was even harder to go up. What goes down must come back up again, should be Swiss version of the proverb :)

To prove the sightseeing thing check a February morning view from Höngg over Zürich and actually also the lake and the Alps if you can see through the fog. The fog is always here, seems strange although it was almost clear sky today, the fog remained...

  1. Kõrgeim tipp muide on Uetliberg - 871m ja madalaim Limmat 392m. Põhimõtteliselt nagu Nõmme mäest üles on see poodi minek, eksole..
