Our host is this morning the chief cook and bottle washer. This lovely old Gasthaus has been here for 600 years and his family have run it as a Gasthaus for 400 years. Amazing eh !
4 kms up the road we cross in to Germany. The old border post is now a liquor shop
The first town is Lindau. The old town is on an island joined to the mainland by 2 bridges. 
tourists flood in by ferry and train (and 100s by bike) . Is that an H28 Graeme?
Some just hitch there π€
It wasn’t easy leaving either. We sat here for 10 minutes while 4 trains went past
The bike trail hugs the coast all the way so far. Occasionally sharing with cars but with well marked lanes for bikes .
At Wasserburg we pop into the info centre for some more maps. It’s part of the council building. We have just put a new council building up in Katikati and to give it a more continental feeling I propose we name it The Rathaus
our favourite lunch on the road is a made up salad from the supermarkets,
add to that the copious cherries we get from roadside stalls, and we sound like a couple of drafthorses going up the hills. Not a problem except that with so many cyclists around you need to check behind you .
We’re only travelling around 40kms a day now because we don’t want to get to Holland too early. Friedrichshafen was our goal tonight and we arrived here at 2.00pm. There’s some great museums here I want to look through as this was the home of the Zeppelin. There’s a full sized replica that flies tourists around every day and I’m keen to have a look.
