Today, we left Paris for Belgium. I watched the news on the strike at the Belgium train stations and I ate my croissant and drank my tea. We then biked to the Paris du Nord train station, finding a bike shop and sending our postcards on their way. After lunch, we found a spot to […]
A fitting farewell for the NYM Trekkers today. The hostel was kind enough to store our bags for the day which gave us time for some more thrift shopping! We also explored more of downtown Montreal. We had a lovely lunch of Chinese noodles downtown, and we also spent several hours packing bikes for the […]
Today started off slowly; everyone woke up slightly late, still recovering from our 56 mile day yesterday. Eventually, however, we packed up and began our journey. Delayed by a flat tire in the morning we stopped at a Hannaford for lunch, picking up some of our favorite foods such as chips and bagels. Following the […]
Today we saw the most crucial site in Paris, the Eiffel Tower. We spent a good three hours walking up the 704 steps and enjoying the view. Then we were off at lunch where we had a picnic by the river next to the Eiffel Tower. Afterwards, we biked over to Montmartre to wander around […]
Today we woke up in style in our nice cozy Holiday Inn Express hotel room. We all woke up at 7 am and strolled to the all you can eat breakfast where we ate like kings drinking and eating everything from chocolate milk to coffee to bagels to oats. We left the hotel at 8 […]
Today we woke up in Kitsap Memorial State Park and enjoyed a breakfast of Froot Loops before heading out on our last day of biking (also, happy birthday Lola!). We biked to catch a morning ferry back into Seattle. Once on the ferry, we enjoyed some snacks and saw Mt. Reinier, which had alluded us […]
Today was one of the best yet for the NYM trekkers! After a quick breakfast at the hostel (and a shower as well) we set off to the Old City to see the port and some of the stores that lined thecobbled streets, with a stop at Notre Dame Basilica. We then marched over to […]
Today we woke up in the 3 Ducks Hostel and helped ourselves to the complimentary breakfast they provided of croissants, bread rolls, and juice. After we finished we took the metro to a square where our walking tour of Paris started. It was called the Sandeman Tour, and it was amazing. Our tour guide Oliver, […]
Today, I woke up in a good mood, as we only had 10 miles to bike, and we were going to Paris today. We got a baguette at the store and some jam and fresh fruit at a farmers market. We entered the back of the Palace of Versailles and biked around the enormous gardens […]
Today the Teen Trekkers had an excellent day exploring the city of Toronto! We started the day at the Hockey Hall of Fame before some of us split off to wander around the annual Toronto Outdoor Art Fair. Then, in the afternoon, in perfect 70 degree weather with not a cloud in the sky, we […]
