As always I enjoy visiting places vicariously through your eyes and lens. The only time I ever lose comments are the times that I forget to copy them first.

No, probably the silliest question I asked the poor man was whether there had ever been any curtains on the massive 16th century fourposter bed in one of the rooms. Could have answered the question myself, had I looked properly; there was no kind of railing or other fastening at the top of the bed frame, so, no curtains.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-41358810388521601802014-10-31T11:29:33.844+01:002014-10-31T11:29:33.844+01:00Your silliest question?

You could say that the people who run the "Möve" in Lindau were like that - just not as funny (at least not to me).<br />The lettering on the mural is deliberately made to look like Medieval writing. The house was built at a time when to "historize" was very popular in Germany.<br />Thank you for saying that about my pictures!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-13956560459407719422014-10-31T07:51:58.966+01:002014-10-31T07:51:58.966+01:00I'm afraid I did not read the Lindauer Zeitung...I'm afraid I did not read the Lindauer Zeitung while I was there - too short my stay, and too eager I was to get out of the hotel every morning, so I did not linger over a paper at breakfast.<br />As for the Cavazzen, the building can be seen in my previous post. I did visit the museum on the Friday and was the only visitor there - it was their last few days before closing for the winter. One of the gentlemen who work there was very kind and willing to answer even my silliest questions. He was probably bored out of his mind and glad for the distraction!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-11303226298783206162014-10-31T01:52:35.902+01:002014-10-31T01:52:35.902+01:00I love your posts about Lindau!

I looked up some more info about it, and I have to say that your photos are better than the other ones that are on the more official travel sites! <br />I am glad you photographed the "What Time Is It" It is time to do good"...I love that!<br />One thing, the kind of lettering on the signs, they remind me very much of my Grimm Brothers books...not sure if I am remembering correctly.<br />Oh, and have you ever seen "Faulty Towers"?

Isn't it amazing that sometimes people who are meant to provide service to guests act as if they themselves should be the focus of good service? I hope your last Lindau post covers Museum 'Haus zum Cavazzen' and the Lindauer Zeitung, which is, as everybody knows, part of the Schwäbische Zeitung.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-58566969777736909052014-10-30T07:56:26.837+01:002014-10-30T07:56:26.837+01:00I didn't know the comment vanishes, it should ...I didn't know the comment vanishes, it should still be there even if you sign in after you have typed it.

He said he loves the place and keeps coming back every year - if you know how to take them, more like a cabaret program than like real life, you love it. Well, it's not my kind of entertainment, I'm afraid, but he is very welcome to it if that is what he enjoys.
