St Dizier to Uberlingen

A good nights sleep on a comfy bed. Opted for breakfast (blow the expense) & we were very impressed. It was excellent & would set us up for the day. 
A relaxed morning, owing to me mucking about with the helmet intercom & somehow managing to put it into Spanish! ☺️🤔
So it was about 10.20 before we got away. It was already in the high 20's, so frequent hydration stops were going to be necessary. 
We despatched the first 120km pretty quickly, so we're the south east side of Nancy when we stopped for a splash & dash. Then it was down to St Dies Vosges and up through the mountains to Colmar, where we stopped again for a (very expensive) Coke 😳
We passed through Freiburgh and then through some wonderful countryside to Geisingen. A petrol & snack stop there & then on through Stockach and on to Uberlingen on Lake Konstanz. Used the Garmin to locate the Hotel Schellenburgh at Lipperstraute. A lovely rural setting & very comfortable. 
 
 
We hadn't arrived until 6pm, so by the time we were sorted & had been unsuccessful in finding somewhere to eat in the village, we got on the bike again & rode the 4 miles into Uberlingen. It was well worth it. A really nice place. 
 
 
Interesting tattoo studio too:
 
Beer & pizza by the lake, followed by an obligatory ice cream, then back to the digs with a McD's coffee.
