| We both started the day with a Looza! |
We awoke to horrendously heavy rain, with no hint of let-up. After a most ungenerous breakfast, we loaded the bikes and set-off across the wet cobbles for Friedrichshafen, on the north shore of the Bodensee (Lake Constance).At nearly 450 miles, it was going to be a long trip, so the wet weather didn't exactly fill us with joy.

| Another Looza |
We rode down to Luxembourg on motorways, crossing into Germany on some of it's excellently surfaced A and B roads. As we entered Luxembourg on the motorway, we made the mistake of stopping for petrol at the first services south of Belgium. It was absolutely manic, with marshals controlling the queues to the pumps, which werte taking 20 minutes from entering the service area to clearing the cash kiosks. We did come on some excellent roads through the Vosges National Park, which somehow we missed on our last visit to the area.We stayed at the Hotel Schoellhorn, where again the food and service were great but, surprisingly, the card reader was broken, as it was 2 years ago, so they could only accept payments in cash!
