Weekend in Stuttgart, Konstanz and Zurich part 2

After Stuttgart, we took a 2.5hrs train ride to Konstanz, which is at the border of Germany and Switzerland. It's a small town which has beautiful views of the Austrian and Swiss alps.


View of Bodensee


Nice view of the lake and houses


See Germany?


You're in Switzerland!


Me with a foot each in Germany and Switzerland!


The Christmas market at Konstanz. Nice too, but not as big and crowded like the one at Stuttgart.



See the view of the German, Austrian and Swiss Alps in the far, far distant.


A nice view


Houses again.. simply reminds me of the houses in Amsterdam!



The Prostitute, which is one of the symbols of Konstanz. In one hand, she has the Pope, and in the other, she has the Emperor. What does that mean? Think for yourself... hee..


More of the Alps


Me and the houses!


The Alps look so near ... How i wish i'm going skiing any time now..


Taking a ferry across Bodensee to Meersburg.


Arrival at Meersburg, a picturesque and historic town


The Germans love to decorate their houses. See what I mean?


A traditional German house


Trying to climb up to a chimney, Mr Santa?


View of Konstanz from the ferry pulling in to the pier


Welcome to Konstanz.


Konstanz christmas markets with the lights coming up.

After that, we rushed to catch a train to the Zurich airport to catch our flight back to London. It was really a quick trip.. short but fulfiling. Quite sad that I didn't manage to eat another bradwurst before leaving Konstanz.. coz it started to rain and we had to make our way through the crowd to get to the station to catch our train in time. Nevermind, I'm sure I'll have more chances to go Germany again! :)
