The breakfast that is becoming the standard keto offering in this part of the country.

The bike leaning against some pillar bollards on the ferry to the east shore of Bodensee on a grey, cool morning.

A century old airship skeleton assembly recreated in the museum at Friedrichshafen. The confidence in engineering in the early days of flight is breathtaking.

Zeppelin gondola viewing platform the size of a house. Downward facing windows on the right.

The Gaylord Gladiator. Style on wheels.

Drama from every angle with those fins being a nod to the emerging rocket age. If you like polishing chrome, this is your car.

This small road was too long and deep to cycle through. I wasn’t that desperate and preferred a ten mile detour.

A tributary swollen with the rain of the last week, rushing to the lake. It was surprisingly noisy with the turbulent flow.

Boats bobbing in the drizzle en route to Lindau.

Technology has limits. The continuous keto meter wasnt ‘dead’ it was just not recording until the late afternoon. But it was coming to the end of its life and clearly failing early. Not unusual with anything stuck onto the skin. But remarkable glue nevertheless.

CGM for the days ride. Perhaps not enough correction for breakfast.

The dramatic low cloud causing diffusion of the light of the setting sun. This was the curtain call of the wet weather. From then on, a more settled and dry few days helped to make the journey more pleasant.
