A genuine dirigible flying machine

Day two began with a scenic, rainy drive from Garmisch to Friedrichshafen to see the Zeppelin musuem. Disappointingly, they had no zeppelins and the zeppelin factory has long since gone. Still, the musuem had plenty of zeppelin related artifacts on display, so in all I suppose it was worth while. The drive there took us through a sliver of Austria (add one more country to the been there list), and was quite scenic, albeit rainy. A rainy, scenic drive is only interesting to the driver. Fortunately, today it was me. In spite of being an uninspiring Golf, it did provide an opportunity to work on my heel-toe technique some more going through the towns and hills.

Next, was heading up the Bodensee still more to Meersburg. Once upon a time there was a town, a town with a road; a town with a road at the top of the hill and a town at the bottom of the hill. Then one day the evil prince set out a decree from his castle, all the roads leading from the top of the hill to the bottom shall ever more be pedestrian zones with the excetion of one little vaguely marked street that we won't tell anyone about. Needless to say, this made finding the hotel somewhat complicated. Once here, though, I have to say it is a pretty town. Narrow streets, decent looking shops, and colorful buildings. I took a few pictures when the rain stopped, hopefully they look alright.

As usual, you can find the rest in the gallery.
