WOW! Bregenz!

What a wonderful place Lindau is. Set on the huge Lake Constance. It is a perfect location to visit Austria and Switzerland. So close to Austria in fact that we cycled there.. 20km each way ...phew! But really no sweat as it is so flat.

The pathway skirts the lake the whole way. I don't know what they are called but there were really lovely "bathing" huts, where you can stretch out on the verandah, taking a dip when a little too hot or snacking on a delicacy or two!

Bregenz was a total shock. So pretty with lovely gardens, lots of ferries and tourist boats and traditional architecture of clock towers, churches, restaurants and wine bars. But the most amazing thing was the floating stage. Wow! I have never seen anything like it.  Every year a new stage & Opera is designed and performed.

The best news was that we had booked tickets and we were off to the opera that night!

Hi, I couldn't reply to your email as your email was no reply!!!!Hope you get this.

Wow that was so quick, I only took it to Vinnies on the weekend!!! How did you work out it was mine? This is so amazing!!! I reluctantly got rid of it as I had no more room for it, I painted it for my now 19 year old son when he was a todler. I hope you enjoy it, nice to know it is still of use!

Tell me more, I love to know where my pieces go.
