7 August - Bike tour planning

Benjamin from downstairs helped me patch up Skylar's tire using the kit Lael bought me. I asked him if he had a bucket to look for the hole in the tire with and he kind of took over things. It was very nice of him. It took us a while to find the hole, but we patched it up and the glue is drying so I'll put it all back together tomorrow.

Nora and I planned out my next few days of adventure. She helped me pick out the best way to bike around The Bodensee and see Rhine Falls. We're going to take the train into Schaffhausen, Switzerland then bike to Rhine Falls, then take the ferry to Rhine Am.., then bike to Konstanz, Germany and stay overnight. Then the next day we will bike to Friedrichshafen, Germany and stay overnight there, then bike to Bregenz, Austria and take the ferry to Rohrspitz to go swimming. We'll bike or take the ferry back to Bregenz and then go home. We'll be starting in Germany, then going to Switzerland, then back to Germany, and then to Austria! What fun!

Apparently it is quite a popular holiday spot and we had to search and modify quite a bit to find an available hostel. We pushed it out a day so that we booked one for Sunday night and one for Monday night because weekends were all just full. I'll just work on my research on Saturday a bit to make up for not being here on Monday and Tuesday :)

Today we went to the bike store and got bike shorts because we left ours at home. I also got some spare inner tubes and a map of the bike paths around the lake. Tomorrow I'll make another batch of my health bars to take with us. We'll set off on Sunday morning. I can hardly wait!
