6:30 depature, as usual to Lucerne, and this time along the see and passing the train station, direction "Emmen" first, then "Wolhusen" and "Entlebuch" - relatively flat route through the city which I will prefere from now on despite of additional traffic. 8:45 in Wolhusen and take the route to Langnau i.E. again. 12:10 I reach Bern city border, further to Fribourg, beautiful route so far, winding route - 14:20 in Fribourg, for me the first time so far I remember. I eat and continue hilly toward Bulle via Le Bry where I arrive 16:20. I shop quickly there, and the first rain starts and lasts 15 Min, so I ride 40 Min more toward Vevey but near Semsales I detour into a small forest and get my campsite there - quickly errect the tent as rains and thunderstorms starts - perfect timing! Thanks!
