Konstanz and Meersburg, German Pleasures and Treasures

We ended our exploration of the Lake Constance area in the German towns of Konstanz and Meersburg and it was quite a finale. Quaint half timbered houses and spectacular lake views via boat and bikes were the order of the day. After a rainy start to the trip the days turned sunny and warm, perfect for exploring the flower island of Mainau. After days of hiking and biking I was beginning to feel like a Teutonic Warrior, lugging my heavy bag through the Zurich Airport however brought me back to reality.
