She liked her asphalt. 🤭
Happy travels!

Welcome to my country (Switzerland), Pedro. I hope you'll find it to be a nice place. So enjoy the chocolate, the cheese fondue and the watches. But hey: beware the speed traps. Switzerland has a collective national psychotic approach to even minor traffic rules violations (speeding). Lawmakers passed a law some ten years ago called Via Sicura which is probably the harshest of its kind in the world. So for the sake of your finances, please ride at the indicated speed limits. Bon voyage!

Pedro! Nice to have met you in beautiful Nijmegen! Looking forward to your new plans.

Great ride, Pedro, I really enjoyed it. Although I've ridden all over the western United States where there's almost no end of fantastic roads and variety of terrain, what we lack is the old school charm and character of the towns and villages you have everywhere you go. I feel fortunate that most of my riding was decades ago because when I revisit these places via YouTube and Google Earth, it's amazing how built up they've become to accommodate the masses of tourist...

You have just restored my serenity after a shocking week, thank you Pedro!

[MontysMotoAdventures]

Nice scenery, a bit Norway like!!! Safe Riding mate.

Grande pedro, , sei passato vicino a casa mia!!

You forgot to mention the 4th language in Switzerland. I never heard it spoken, but it's called Romansh. Not many bikes in the alps at winter. :O

Don Pedro, el mejor off-road driver del mundo :)
Cheers from Algiers!

Sehr cooles Video. Und Dein Deutsch ist sehr gut. Und im Winter über den Grimsel ! Hut ab mein Freund :)

Regarding your question from 11:20 : No, they don't always understand each other :)
Most swiss people do understand each other while speaking swiss-german, but there are exceptions to that.
People from the canton of Valais have a fairly unique dialect of swiss-german and even use different words, than other swiss dialects. That sometimes makes it hard for them to understand each other.
That beeing said, most swiss citizens do understand and mostly are capable of speaking (high-)german, which is officially the same language as swiss-german, yet swiss-german is so vastly different that germans won't understand more than a few bits of it, due to quite a few differences in vocabulary and even grammar.
For example:
"A little bit" in german means: "Ein kleines bisschen" and in swiss german it's "Es chlinis bizli" and that's one of the simple examples. (for which the swiss have at least 3 ways of writing it)
The most popular word to show to german foreigners is: "Chuchichaschtli", which in german basically means "Küchenschrank" which in english is "kitchen cabinet".

Once you're in the westernmost parts of switzerland, you will even find swiss people who speak french as their single language.

Counting romansh, which is rarely spoken, yet still beeing spoken, we got 5 languages going.
swiss german and high german, french, italian, romansh.
That's not considering the large amount of big companies that mandatorily chose english only in business context.
Also there's a considerable amount of citizens from Portugal and the netherlands.
