Sunday 29 August 2010 – 10.45 am

Enjoyed two nice days in Germany alongside Lake Constance. Weather has been a bit mixed, rain and sunny spells…quite a contrast to Thursday….but it hasn’t stopped us enjoying ourselves.


On Friday we took a boat trip across the lake to the small town of Uberlingen where we had the most fabulous afternoon ice creams in a very fancy tea house. Lots of very nice hotels, restaurants and cafés along the waterfront and a pretty tourist town.

Then a fish supper from the village (Dinglesdorf) fish shop…beautiful pink trout to follow herrings in dill. We are both very impressed with the quality of the food here, fantastic meats, fish and the wine is pretty good as well.

Yesterday we did some cycling around the local villages (there are miles and miles of cycle tracks through woods and across open farmland here) and then dinner at a local guesthouse restaurant with lots of local dishes to choose from.

Today we are on the road again, driving up through South West Germany (Stuggart, Karhlsrue, Saarbrucken) and into southern Belgium where we are staying the night. Tomorrow we will have a short drive up to Bruges and then spend the day there before getting the 2.00am Tuesday ferry back to Dover.
