Hotel :- Hirschen Gasthof
An airship went past our window before breakfast. 
Apparently they are trying to revitalise the old Zeppelin works with new technology airships.
We had a short ride up to Meersburg to catch the ferry to Konstanz. This took us through an area of vineyards and very pleasant villages. We joined the queue for the ferry in glorious sunshine. The ferry trip took about 25 mins. We could still see snow capped mountains in the distance. Konstanz was established around 550 ad. To arrive by ferry is a great way to see much of the old town. 
We walked through the main streets which were mainly pedestrianised. Then off again. Out of Germany, back into Switzerland and back into Germany.
We had yet another stop and wander through Stein am Rhein. One of the best preserved medieval small towns.
Plenty of tourists, walkers and cyclists. Eventually carried on, through some forest areas, which was pleasantly cool after the high temperatures of today. 22 degrees, which after the low temperatures we have had is quite a shock to the system. 
We have just completed the hardest part of the day. An enormous meal in the hotel. A very good meal, but it will take most of tomorrow to work it off.
Hi to you all!
ReplyDeleteJust checked my emails and found four mindless people cycling around europe. I find it hard enough by car! To be honest I think its great and will try to follow your route. Best of luck - Mike Taylor
