    Bregenz & Lindau

    A lovely little excursion through the roundabout-strewn Switzerland, to Bregenz in Austria, up a cable car, down to Lindau in Germany, and back in time for dinner. Not bad!

    The Bodensee was stunning in the stark light
    I imagine the previous transport significance of Lake Konstanz cannot be overstated …
    … hence the ridiculous edifices at each end of the lake

    Konstanz

    A lovely stop in Konstanz was marked with learning to cook Gongbao Chicken with Yuyin’s grandfather; the first Chinese chef in the Bodensee area … that man has some incredible stories.

    The folks
    Walking the town – it was hilarious to be the 'local-looking' guy in the group, and yet he obviously speaks fantastic German.
    Not quite sure what we are talking about here.
    A real pleasure to meet him, and a hugely proud series of conversations held in Chinese – the work paid off 🙂

    Fantastic hand-finished graphics – we should have more of this!
    Higgeldy-piggeldy architecture
    The simple addition of LEDs to the town clock made for a striking appearance at dusk.

    Goodbye to a charming little town.
