DAY 2: Lustenau - Konstanz

After a tiring first day, we decided (yep, you've guessed it) to do another late-starter, which happened to be even later than yesterday. With a heavy breakfast in us, we made for Lake Konstanz, which we would would be following all the way to our destination. It wasn't long until we reached the large lake, at 402m above sea level. Thankfully, the wind was weak today and didn't pose too much of a problem, however, there was still a light drizzle left over from yesterday. Not a problem though, as we rolled gently along the side of the lake, passing charming villages on the way. Determined to actually get passed halfway before having a lunch break, we pressed on until Romanshorn, where we tried to find a lake-side terrace cafe to have lunch.

We left Romanshorn and continued to follow the lake, my dad ranting on about how nice the houses on the lake-side were and how he was going to buy a plot of land there, when finally we reached the border between Switzerland and Germany. Having passed through border control (no biggie really, pretty relaxed around here) we entered Konstanz, my dad suddenly feeling at home in his native Germany, and we found our traditional hotel for the night not long after.

If you're feeling confused about the order of countries we've passed through, here's a summary: Starting in Chur, Switzerland, we went North up towards the border

with Liechtenstein, into which we entered. Continuing to travel North, we reached the border of Austria and crossed into it, finishing the rest of our day in Austria near the border with Switzerland, including spending the night. The next day, today, we passed back into Switzerland at the beginning of the day and spent the whole day in Switzerland, apart from the last few minutes, when we moved into Germany, to spend the night in Konstanz.
