📆 Day 1 | 24 May

📍Route: Grenoble -> 🚆Grenoble -> Geneva🚲-> Maladaire Campground (La Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland)  

🚴‍♀️ Distance cycled: 90 km

🏰 Places visited: Lake Leman, Olympic Museum in Lausanne

At 7:00 AM we departed from home. We took Grenoble-Geneva train and by 10:00 we started to cycle. We started in Geneva and cycled to Maladaire Campground (Camping de la Maladaire), covering a distance of 90 km.

The weather was nice and all day we were impressed by the stunning views of Lake Leman. We stopped for lunch around 13:00 and continued biking to Lausanne where we visited the Olympic Museum.

We camped at Maladaire Campground, which had showers, bathrooms, a small snack bar, and a shared kitchen. It was our first day setting up the campsite by ourselves, which turned out to be a valuable learning experience.

We met a local Portuguese woman who gave us safety advice about the area.

We had a small disagreement with two civilians in Switzerland, an unexpected but manageable situation.

The team dynamic was very positive — we supported and helped each other, especially during the camp setup.
