We started the day late after breakfast at
the hotel.
Our plan was to catch the
ferry to Konstanz, ride some more of Lake Constance then head towards the
“Romantic Way” ride.
After arriving in Konstanz, along with far
too many tourists (school holidays) we changed our plans. Lake Constance is currently like the south
coast between Christmas and New Year – wall to wall people. Konstanz looks to
be very pretty as we have been told, but way too many people around for it to
be enjoyable. The nearby campgrounds were full, so after a short wander around
and lunch we boarded another ferry to take us to the other (less popular) side
of the lake.
We arrived at Meersburg and rode another
10kms to Hagnau where the van park advertised it was full. We spoke nicely to the manager who told us we
could pitch the tents on the lawn of a permanent van which was currently
unoccupied. That’s the beauty of having
two small tents.
We have also been warned by some locals
that we should not be around the lake on Wednesday which is a public holiday
for the Swiss national day. Apparently
the Swiss head here in droves!
Our plan now is that we will head north
along the “Romantic Way” which vaguely runs from Fussen to Wurzburg.
Hi folks, congratulations and well done for what has been a fascinating experience. We have followed with interest, although due to my own travel and busy life, I've had to play a bit of catch up on the blog. It sounds like you will have enough stories to fill a life time. We head off in just over a month, and you are getting close to where we will be starting. Anyway, stay safe and enjoy the rest of the tour. Love from us, Kelvin and Julie
