Fine, warm & sunny, 8-24deg. 28km (tot 378). We seem to be sleeping much better now that the last of the jet-lag has gone. However as the sun is up at 5:30am and most rooms don't have block out curtains, 6am is the latest sleep in we've managed so far. Sunset has been about 9:30pm so nice long days to wander after dinner. Following a quick bite at Maccas (yes we know, but McCafe do make our sort of coffee, the local stuff is just so strong it makes our hair s...

Cloudy but fine, 15-22deg 50km, at a very leisurely average of 15km/h (total 350km). 7:30am breakfast then away about 8:45am. A wonderful varied ride today, mainly away from the lake through forests, vineyards, orchids (apple, pear, cherry) and farmland. Quite a large wine area in this region although we didn't see any cellar doors to taste the local brew. Spent an interesting hour or so at the Zeppelin Museum at Friedrichshafen. What an amazingly luxurious way t...

Fine & sunny, forecast 10-25deg but by the time we were out on the bikes at 8:30am (brekky at 7:30) it was already a very pleasant 17deg. Not sure it got too much above that, there was a cool breeze all day. 25km ride. It's nice to get out and just ride with nowhere in particular to go and without the panniers on board. You suddenly feel as though you are stronger and fitter, but it's just the lack of weight. Had a couple of nice rides around the district. Pl...

Fine & sunny 15-21deg 65km (285km total) average today 16.5km/h (ok a bit slow but we did have a head wind). We both felt a little better this morning, the sniffles and cough were very annoying but short lived, thanks mainly to the on-board Pharmo. After a hearty Swiss brekky including lashings of coffee we got away about 8am and went directly onto the Rhine bike path. Billiard table smooth for all but 5km which was hard packed gravel/dirt. A slight breeze tu...
