Yesterday's Zeppelin sighting

After staying in the same family hotel for several years in the past, we were given a better room for our next visit a handful of year’s back, which was a nice token from them. The next year we had another upgrade to what was actually an apartment on the top floor. This was made up of a very nice bedroom with a modern four poster bed, a hall way with two double wardrobes, a bathroom with a huge bath and separate toilet, then a large sitting room with a balcony off it, overlooking the incredibly pretty lake. We were given this room for three of four more summer stays and thought ourselves blessed rather than simply comfortable. 

Upon our arrival this year we found that we had made it to the top of the preferred clients list it seems. We were greeted like old friends or even family by the mother of the owner family, she gave us the key to the apartment at the other end of the hotel accommodation. We have top floor apartment again and this year it has an entry room, a second hall room, two bedrooms, one with a four poster, there is a cosy sitting room again, a giant bathroom with furniture and separate toilet and the usual balcony. After we had taken all our bags and bikes etc. up to our spacious quarters, we came down to reception to get into the wifi to send a few messages, (upgrades to the hotels still don’t include wifi in all the rooms). Actually that may be the only downfall of our huge apartment; that the wifi does not stretch to the further limits of this honey of a quaint hotel and restaurant. Whilst we sat trying to get the correct code put in to connect, two waiters and several other staff including the groundsman, all stopped their work and came out to greet us. How very nice and homely. 

We went into the restaurant that has tables right on the waters edge, and had a tasty meal including in my case a wiener schnitzel the size of a Yeti foot with Lemon and Redcurrant jelly. Steve had a first course, whilst I sipped my glass of wine but still managed to give me a little help with my one massive dish. My schnitzel had been bashed until it was very tender and thin but even so. Talk about eye’s bigger than tummy’s. Luckily I had not eaten any bread but still definitely no room for dessert. 

I went out on my bike for a little ride this morning and we have taken several swims in the slightly chilly but crystal clear waters of the Wörter See, no wettie needed. Heaven.
