After 93 days on the bikes we have reached our destination: Anchorage. It felt weird to cycle into Alaska’s biggest city, not only because of the heavy traffic and congested roads but most importantly because of the fact that our bike journey has come to an end. Anchorage has always been in the back of our heads and we have barely spent thoughts about it. Now that we are here, we are kind of overwhelmed. Apart from relaxing in our hostel room and enjoying good food (lots of it!), it was also wellness-time for our bikes. After carrying us and all our belongings for more than 8’700 km (not to mention the sometimes nasty weather and road conditions), they deserved a thorough cleaning. Finally, we diligently packed them in cardboard boxes for their way back to Switzerland.
In Anchorage we will meet Philipp’s parents and travel Alaska’s Southern part together in their rental camper van for a few days.
