Bliss on a Bike.

Well I mentioned meerkats, Zepplins, a big lake and consistency. It was Meersburg on Lake Constance (or Bodensee as the Germans call it).

Jan and I have previously cycled around the lake in 2019 and it brings back great memories. It is always going to be a favourite place. The cycling here is completely mainstream. Everyone seems to be on a bike and the cycle paths are perfect.

Today we stayed at Meersburg but had a good long cycling day. I will tease you with our cycling destination. We did the same route out and back so it must be within a reasonable distance.

I will let the photos help a little.

We didn’t stop in Konstanz but carried on….

The cycling was bliss. The weather was perfect and no wind to mention either. The countryside was agricultural but with a good mix of apple and pear orchards and vineyards. We stayed by the lake or river for much of the route. Coming back was just as lovely.

This time we stopped in Konstanz.

It’s the biggest city on Bodensee and has it all. Large old town centre, grand churches and good shopping.

We caught the (very efficient) ferry back to Meersburg and couldn’t resist a bier and a meal out.

Did I forget to mention that today was a double ice cream day? Chocolate flavour and Malaga flavour. Anyone know what Malaga flavour is?

We will sleep well tonight.
