Today was a gentle lakeshore ride for the most part. The weather forecast has been bad with a lot of rain but fortunately it has also been mostly wrong. We were sprinkled around lunch but then it cleared up considerably.
We rode once again mostly along pathways close to the shore so it was peaceful but not fast.
Lakeshore and the riding is easy
One of the highlights along the way was at Friedrichshaufen which is the historic and current home of the Zeppelin air ships. We had already seen them gracefully flying above the lake, but here was a chance to learn something more about their history and especially the Hindenburg disaster in 1937. George visited the museum and was quite impressed with it all.

Further along we came to Lindau which is a small island connected by a bridge to the mainland. There is a nice harbour with an imposing lion on one side and lighthouse on the other side of the entrance. Another good spot for an eis on a warm afternoon.

We had an enthusiastic conversation about cycling and the tandems with this fellow and his wife
Cyclists still in huge numbers throughout the day
What’s your superpower?
