Today is Day 3 of our vacation. We had a very very very long day as I accidentally took us the long scenic route instead of the direct route. This meant instead of 72km we went 90km, I thought I was a good map reader, ops! In one day we went through three countries- Germany- Austria-Switzerland. A few of the villages we road our bikes through were Langenargen, Wasserburg, Lindau, Bregenz, Hard, Gaissau and finally our evening destination Rorschach. Austria does not label roads as well as Germany, we were missing all of our road signs every .5km. We had lunch a Lindau on the island- very cute and very tourist central. We went through marsh land and endless farm lands until we got back on track to Rorschach. Our hotel is Hotel Mozart and it is very plesant on the water with a view of the garden. We have been lucky with three nice hotels, just one bad dinner last night but tonight’s dinner made up for it. We have had great wines and now we are ready for bed. A few pictures from today and ready for 56km tomorrow to Konstanz, where we will be for two days. We also saw a volleyball tourney and a sand castle competition- they were very good, we added one below! Too bad Greg’s Mom and Dad are not with us they would love this trip. It is very nice with lots of great bike trails and very few areas that you must ride your bike next to cars. Talk to you tomorrow with more details….
