Yesterday evening I treated myself to a very, very expensive (fortunately also very good) pizza in Diessenhofen and had to part with most of my CHF because they didn't take VISA. The very helpful reception in the Unterhof Hotel gave me a map to the local ATMs so I could refill my coffers.
After a great breakfast this morning (cereal, pineapple, strawberries, coffee, scrambled eggs, sausages) I dropped off my luggage for pickup and got on my way.
Following the wonderful signage (although getting a tiny bit off track for brief periods in a few places) I made my way to the ferry dock in Wallhausen about an hour and a half before the next trip. About 55km in a bit over 3 hours.
I treated myself to an Apfelstrudel mit Vanilleeis und Schlag (Apple Strudel with Vanilla Ice Cream and Whipped Cream to you) and a coffee at a bustling food stand in the marina.
The ferry allowed early boarding so on went the bike and me. On board I met a German couple who were travelling shorter distances on a tandem. Then we were off across the lake to the bustling dock in Überlingen. Pushed the bike through the crowds and up one of the foothills of the Alps before riding the last of it to my hotel.

Had to watch out for these but I squashed one
as I walked back to the bike. Ugh, poor wee beast.

Just had a Veal Schnitzel and beer in the outdoor balcony of the restaurant, then I walked down the cliff and back to get some cash at Deutsche Bank and some snacks for tomorrow's ride at a health food store.
Till tomorrow from Langenargen,
