Bregenz, Austria

July 30, 2007

We picked up the van without any issues and Heather followed me in it and we made our way to Zurich where we were going to pick up my parents and Aunt and Uncle. On our way my dad called me from London and told me they were delayed an hour, so we decided to make a quick detour to Bregenz, Austria, just at the Swiss/Austrian border and sitting on Lake Constance (Bodensee). The Begenz music festival was going on right now, so we thought we would stop and see what we could while we had time to kill (at this point my dad had called again conveying an even longer delay in London). We drove down to the lake and parked the car. We walked along this beautiful lake, past a wonderful swimming facility, which I wished we would have had time to stop and enjoy. We made our way to the floating stage, but since it was just early afternoon the events had not started for the day. We walked around the amphitheater and then walked back to the car and continued the drive to Zurich.
