6/1 (Fri) Konstanz to Stein am Rhein, Switzerland

It’s 10 pm & 1 is sound asleep. THE OTHER IS STILL TRAUMATIZED! Fell off bike twice & was lost for over an hr. STORY : bkft great-left at 9 w/Cindy-Jean gone. Took detour around island-lake, flowers every house, green houses main business. Cemetery-each plot w/planted flowers. Later C stops for lunch-I stop for picture- UT is GONE. Start biking-follow biking signs out of town-30 min-still lost. NO MAPS-I’m a follower & can’t read maps-NO MONEY-NO PHONE- DON’T KNOW NAME OF TOWN GOING TO. Sit in shade by bike path-hope to see Cindy. Decide to go back-maybe someone is trying to find me. MIRACLE-SEE UT SHIRT-I’M FOUND! Both say-Where were you??? He and Cindy-both went separate ways looking for me.  Asked  what our back up plan was-don’t have one-never lost her before. Start on different way-now on terrible, narrow, gravel path-don’t see streep incline-FALL OFF BIKE into bushes-lay there. Are you ok? NO-get up & bike away slowly. Now on good bike path-pass where I was waiting. Later UT sees big wood bear in front of house-stops to ask if I want picture. Stop-lean wrong way-fall off bike again , hit head on fence. NO- No picture. Tells me biking very slowly-better not to talk to me now. Can’t believe number of famlies on trail-all ages-different culture here. Get to Hotel Adler at 4:30-hear J & C voices. Exhausted-take shower-UT gets me a coke-eat morning sandwich-take nap. UT comes back-bought helmet for himself ( did not bring helmets)-but You didn’t fall. Also new watch & toothbrush. Take walk-see J & C-tell story-eat dinner. Hard to believe only 1st day of biking-train sounds great. Bkft at 9.
