Lindau

Monday 31 March. It looks as if Sunday was a one off, as the morning was cold and overcast as we set off for Lindau an island town on Lake Constance. Lindau has many old buildings some of which date back to the 1500s. A large part of the town is a car free zone which allows the locals and visitors to stroll around and enjoy the town. From the waterfront you can look across the lake to Switzerland and to the left is Austria, we could have taken a short ferry ride to both these countries but as we didn’t have our passports with us, we had to be content with looking at them.

Back at the resort, after tea we went down to the reception lounge and were entertained by a local Schnapps manufacturer, who provided eight generous samples of their products, we were glad there wasn’t any naked flames around as we may have exploded, 35%+ alcohol!
