Black Forest & Lake Constance - Aug/Sep '12
Back in Germany for a couple of weeks. Where to go? Where to go?
Well, actually, the Black Forest was a request from Pratiwi. Hmmmmm... suspicious of the cake they make there being an influencing factor 
But to be fair, the whole countryside, rolling hills and stuff also proved a treat. Lake Constance was my idea, chosen completely at random - you can't go far wrong with a lake though.
Very nice all round, but getting a bit chilly at altitude (the Black Forest even has some ski lifts!).
The keen observer might also notice a guest appearance for a couple of days here. Thanks for coming!

In Sankt Peter, but sadly we missed the monastery tour so had to be content with a look at the little church.

When in the Black Forest... 
Wonderful lunch in Sankt Peter. Cake so unstable takes two to cut the last slice!
Sunday 26 August 2012
Dropped into Waldkirch, but have to admit that there's not much to see here. This street is pretty enough though.
Sunday 26 August 2012
Another café stop. Time to compare & contrast Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte As we walked a small treat for me too 
Monday 27 August 2012
Good morning Totdnauburg! Morning view from our terrace in the Black Forest. Love it!
Monday 27 August 2012
Hike to Feldberg (highest peak in the Black Forest) & Feldsee (little lake). Very nice, if a bit chilly to start.
Monday 27 August 2012
Freiburg: on a sunny afternoon feels like a really vibrant place. Lots of young folk enjoying life... us included?
Wednesday 29 August 2012
Passing by St Blasien. Cathedral here has loads of shiny marble under it's huge dome. Little village is pretty too.
Wednesday 29 August 2012
Passed this mad storm front on the way home. Threw in some 'extreme' processing too. We managed to stay dry, BTW!
Friday 31 August 2012
'lunch' in Todtnau. Well, there was other stuff, but not so pretty. If only we could survive on beer & cake alone!
Saturday 1 September 2012
Summer in the Black Forest? Yes, that's 7°C! Although it was early morning at over 1200m altitude. Still... brrrrrrr!
Sunday 2 September 2012
Might have done a bit of pavé while sightseeing in Lindau this morning. Nice view from nearby Eichenberg too
Monday 3 September 2012
Edeka supermarket, Langenargen: new shops always an adventure. Found this aisle to be somehow photogenic. Beer?
Thursday 6 September 2012
Another ride into Lindau today, this time with Pratiwi. Very nice cycling through the orchards and vineyards.

Lake Constance at sunset. Hanging out with the swans... although Pratiwi finds them big & scary any closer than this!
Friday 7 September 2012
By the shore of Lake Constance. It's huge, with beautiful clear water as you can see. Waiting for the Mainau ferry.
Friday 7 September 2012
Pfahlbaumuseum Unteruhldingen. Completely unpronounceable! Is an open air museum of stilt houses we passed today.
Friday 7 September 2012
Mainau. The Flower Island of Lake Constance. Yes, they have flowers, & more. Pretty nice really (manly cough!)
Friday 7 September 2012
There's a butterfly house on Mainau. Sadly didn't bring a macro lens... doh! Still interesting & colourful though.
Friday 7 September 2012
Late-ish afternoon ferry back across Lake Constance. Great day! Some nice craft bobbing about here too.
