Lindau im Bodensee
Last night, Steve and I spent the night on an island in the Bodensee or Lake Constance. I think they’re the same thing. The village of Lindau has a portion that’s on an island connected by a short bridge to the mainland. It’s really not that far out, but it’s quaint, as you would expect a European village to be. It’s on the German border of Austria, and we had a great time wandering around. It’s hard to find something in the TC to compare it to, but I suppose if you took Nicollet Island and crammed it full of buildings that were a hundred and fifty years old, it would come close. There’s even a school on the island, because this morning plenty of school kids were headed there, and they were definitely not headed to shore. It was kind of a cross between Nicollet Island and Duluth. The hotel we stayed at was so nice, with wonderfully soft pillows and comforters, and if that’s a continental breakfast, I don’t know what we’ve been getting in the U.S. It certainly isn’t the spread that was laid out for the guests.
We left around 9:30, and continued to have problems with the roads, finally getting on the Autobahn by 10:30, which was wonderfully easy after that.
