An easy day, flat and hot, as we followed the Rhine towards St Margrethen and across the border into Austria. We rode right up into the Rhine delta, a lush, protected land. Coffee in Rheineck and then back into Switzerland and the beginning of the Bodensee. A lakeside picnic lunch of smoked trout and cucumber, a welcome swim and a bit of sunbathing on the shores of the Bodensee, and then we followed the meandering lakeside trail to Romanshorn and Hotel Inseli, slightly dated but beautifully positioned. Kathy and Rodger brought champagne! and much much later, following a bottle or two of the local wine and a few games of birimba, we staggered off to bed.55.6km, 741 calories, 3 hrs 30
