Lynn and Nick in Europe, 2009

Lindau, 16-18 August

		From Innsbruck to Lindau, we took a scenic route. *
		Protection against avalanches. *
		Lindau is just inside Germany on Lake Constance, near where Germany, Austria and Switzerland all meet. It is very picturesque, but exists mainly for tourists. *
		Some of the buildings are very elaborately decorated. This is the Rathaus, or Town Hall. †
		Detail of the Rathaus gable. †
		Clock on the Rathaus. *
		Flowers in the square in front of the Rathaus. †
		The town's main square has two churches. This is the interior of the Lutheran church. *
		And this is the altar of the Catholic church. *
		The entrance to the very attractive little harbour is guarded by a lighthouse and a statue of a lion. *

		The owner of this tower, on the edge of the old town, obviously has a sense of humour: note Rapunzel's hair hanging from a window! *
		A rather unhappy eagle on a house wall. †
		We drove from Lindau along the side of Bodensee (Lake Constance) to Hagnau, where there was this sundial on the wall of a very elaborate Cistercian monastery. †

Then we went on to Brunnen in Switzerland.
