What Autumn mornings were made for

Our last morning walk was about a month ago, on a Sunday. It was perfect Fall weather. Chilly but sunny and clear skies. We hadn't gone for a morning walk for a month (because of someone's laziness), but the weather was so good we had to get out of the house.

Now it wouldn't be possible to take these photos. It's almost always very foggy in the morning, and we haven't seen the sun for about 2 weeks. It's making it very difficult to get up in the morning!

Train food

When hunger presses, and home seems far away and the 10 minute train trip feels like it will last one hour, it's necessary to distract one's stomach with a little something!

Like plain Chinese noodles...

or smoked salmon wraps...

or Chinese noodles with vegetables...

On the road - there and back again through Germany

Driving in the German highways is never dull.
For example: you can drive for kilometers without a speed limit, then all of a sudden the speed limit becomes 100, 200 meters later it's 80. And you see all the cars in the left lane breaking at the same time, all getting very close to each other, until you think for sure there's going to be an accident. Then, all of a sudden, the speed limit disappears again - and you are left wondering why in the world the speed limit was there for, until you realize that it was because there was a curve on the highway, or because there was a slight descend. It makes perfect sense - NOT!

Then you are presented with little "pearls" like the ones bellow:
 

^^ These people really l-o-v-e to pull big trailers, or whatever that thing is, with their cars. ^^

^^It's even better when it's caravans, which already drive very slowly, doing it.^^

^^Then there's the old car pulling there older car.^^

^^And the couple who decided that the best way to spend time together was to ride on the highway side by side while trying to have a conversation. Again, it makes perfect sense!^^

It's nerve racking and, without question, the worst part of the entire trip. Only the landscape saves the day and makes it a little better.

Bodensee - Konstanz

We first went to Bodensee in March and, as I said in this post, we had very good weather, which helped us enjoy the trip.
The second time was not different, although walking around town might have been a little more pleasurable if the temperatures had been a bit lower. Still, it was a great day; and luckily there are always radlers to help with the heat!

This time we went all the way to the top of the lake and visited the old part of Konstanz, a town in the northwestern shore, which is famous for being the birthplace of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, constructor of the famous Zeppelin airships.
