Lake Constance was a great place to have a day’s break. Such a beautiful clear lake with the backdrop of the Alps in the distance.
On Sunday morning I took my early mug of tea to sit on the beach and admire the view. I had quite a shock when I saw these three sharks swimming near the shore!
I could relax and enjoy my tea.
The rest of the day we went for a walk along the shore and found a great little restaurant for lunch . From our table we looked down on 3 beach volleyball courts and were entertained by some energetic youngsters playing some very exciting games.
Again, I spent some time maintaining the bikes. Both our front tyres had had slow punctures for a few days, so I thought I’d have a look. I couldn’t believe the size of the thorn that had been through the tyre and tube. We’d done 300 kms, since we first had to first pump them up.!!
The thorn must have been so smooth and round it made a near perfect seal in the tube!!
We’d decided to rejoin the Eurovelo 6 a little further to the east, so this crossing enabled us to join other bike routes to achieve this.
The bike route around the lake is very popular, so you couldn’t really relax and cycle side by side.
A plane full of Canadian bike tourists had recently arrived and they’d all been armed with matching red electric bikes. They were trying to get orientated with the maps, in order to find their way along the coast to meet their return boat in the evening. They were all provided with pre paid voucher books for food, ferries etc. The whole idea was ghastly to us!!
Our bikes unfortunately had to share their room!
