7th September 2009

We're going to stay here for a while as it's a nice campsite and the weather is good, the showers are great and they have internet.  We walked up to reception to use the WiFi and collected our email and after some lunch we sat outside.  I made some cards and Paul read.  I heard the noise of an engine in the sky and when I looked up there was an airship floating along.  Paul said it was a Zeppelin and had come from their factory on the lake at Friedrichshafen.  I was fascinated as I've never seen an airship before.  Apparently you can go up on a flight, but looking at the little passenger compartment underneath, there’s no way you’d get me in that!

Later, in the evening we got ready and walked up to the restaurant where we met some other English people and we all sat together on a large table and had dinner.  I had a Pork Schnitzel with chips and Paul had the same but with noodles. It took a long time to arrive as I think the woman on reception is also the cook.  But although I didn't like it much, Paul said it was very good.  We were invited back to one of the other couple's caravan for coffee, but we declined, and got back to our van a little tipsy after a good few glasses of wine.
