Flashback to February 1st: London with both Aunties at the same time!

Snacks from the market next to the Golden Hind in a dock beside the Thames.

Is that a 3rd Auntie?

That pub looks awfully inviting.

Shiver me timbers. There's a real live pirate show on the boat. Thank goodness for the glass screen.

Mutiny.

Curry from the market. Granny, Grandad, Auntie Rosie, Dan, Uncle Patrick, Anutie Amanda, Auntie Di, Cousin Sophie, Mum, Dad, Lizzy and Katherine. We could almost overrun that boat if only those pirates didn't have swords.

Rainbow over St. Paul's. The millenium bridge connects the Tate Modern to the "City" where all those bankers "work".

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

There's wonderful bike riding on 270 km of bike trails that stay close and flat with the shore of this alpine lake as is runs through Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Here is an early morning view from the south eastern corner of the lake, towards the historic border town of Konstanz (Constance). Last nights snow lasted until the afternoon.

The easter bunny visited us while we slept at the excellent Youth Hostel in Lindau.

Ravensburg Spielpark is great for 4 - 8 year olds. And the young at heart.

Strange place for a library: unattended in a play park on the lake shore.

A musical clown show closed the day at Ravensburg.

Constance town center. Viewed from a tired biker at a cafe table.

Looking the other way from the same cafe table. The very pretty harbour is just out of view to the right.
