It's nice to see some familiar faces again and the time we are spending at Lake Konstanz with our good German friends, Walter & Sibylle and Walter (Metso) & Karina has been wonderful. Walter & Sibylle own a large historic home on the shores of Konstanz. They have spent the past 2 years working diligently to restore most of the rooms to their original state. Their hard work has paid off and the charming old house has been restored to it's original beauty with an abundance of hand crafted wood panelling, gorgeous hardwood and stone floors and a one of a kind curved staircase in their grand foyer. Looks like we will be spend 4 days with them before heading toward Croatia before the summer crowds start arriving.
Yesterday we spent the day canoeing the Bay of Konstanz to the Rein River. We made a couple of stops along the route to an ancient monastery that continues to house 6 monks. From their, we coasted down the Rein to the historic village of ....for cappuccino & gelato. This trip is not being kind to our waist lines! After spending a great day on the water we returned home for a refreshing swim in the lake. The water temperature was about 20 degrees and after the initial shock it was wonderful. Walter barbequed us a German dinner accompanied by some fine wines and deserts. What a way to cap of an incredible day.
