A wet Bodensee

Well its turned out to be rather wet for the last few days. The view over to the Swiss Alps is still non- existent.  We did walk into town yesterday and visit the Zepplin Museum, which was rather interesting despite the language problem, but today we are confined to the van.

Long distance airship travel was a remarkable achievement for its time and was a great technology driver just like the space programs of our generation. The passengers, typically outnumber 2 to 1 by crew, enjoyed a very high level of luxury on the transatlantic and south American routes, with Freidricshsafen and Count Von Zepplin world centres for long distant flight. Shame it all went up in flames with the Hindenburg disaster.

Rosemary cooked some of the local fish,  Bodensee Felden,  a bit like trout.

Nice interactive Google home page today to celebrate Les Paul's birthday in 1915.
