A year away: August 16 - 20. Back in Germany for beer tasting and bike riding

Once we were settled back into the flat, all washed and laundered I set out to continue my sampling of as many of Munich's breweries as possible as well as planning my foray into Eastern Europe. I was considering buying a bike and doing it that way but time constraints mean it's not the best option. Next time. We took one evening to visit a couple of the local biergartens and sampled the rest in bottles. All I can say is for less than €1 a bottle this stuff's got to be the best in the world...until I make it to Belgium at least. At the end of the week Chris had to go down to the town of Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance for work so I went down too. I did a bit of a bike tour around the towns of Lindau, Friedrichshafen, Meersburg and Konstanz, as well as a 5 minute visit to Switzerland. The scenery around the lake is very pleasant and the small old towns very quaint. Meersburg has a very large and imposing castle that looks worth exploring one day when €10 to get in doesn't seem like a big hurdle. Take a look at some of the pics.
