Fiona excelled herself and we have made her a permanent member of the team, but only on the understanding that her proposals are vetted before we set off and she does a bit more training with postcodes, not her strength, but we can’t be good at everything. She usually puts forward three options for the overall route and it is vital to check up on her choosing the option we want. With this new understanding, we are all very happy.
It was just a three hour drive today, on motorways. crossing into Switzerland, skirting around Zurich, crossing into Germany and heading up to Lake Konstanz. With temperatures now creeping up to 20 C, it is all very civilised, and the blue sky, puffy white clouds, glassy lake flanked with snow clad mountains and sporting a few sailing yachts was indeed a sight to behold.
We walked round the lake to the old town of Konstanz and admired stunning architecture from a range of periods 1500 onwards but with the magnificent buildings of circa 1900 dominating the skyline.
We have found another treasure of a place to stay. Waldhaus Jakob stands overlooking the lake and is full of character.+49 7531 8100 or look it up on http://www.waldhaus-jakob.de
