Zeppelins

Today we visited Friedrichschaffen. The hotel staff had told us it was a sweet little town so we went to check it out.  As we were driving we realized that we kept seeing a blimp. After some quick checking we found out that there are zeppelin rides over the Bodensee (Lake Constance) every day.  It wasn’t quite clear enough for us to justify 220€ per person but it would be fun to do.

The perfect way to spend an afternoon

We also found out that there is a zeppelin museum in Friedrichshaffen. After touring the cute town market and having lunch on the water we went to the museum. It was super cool and very informative. Also, it had full size replicas of the passenger portions of the Hindenburg. It was fascinating to see what it was like to travel that way and to learn about what happened when the Hindenburg burned/crashed. It’s also interesting to note that they still don’t know what caused it to catch on fire. Conspiracy? Annoyed farmer? Sabotage? Lightening?  No one knows for sure.
