To Konstanz

Despite the slightly crappy weather, which drove us momentarily to investigate flights to Italy, we decided to stay in Böblingen over Easter, and not do any crazy travelling.

Well sort of anyway. Having chilled out on the Friday, drunk too much beer (suprise), Jk, Arnd and I headed down to Konstanz on the Saturday. If you’ve ever wondered if a Nissan Micra can do 160 Kmh, I can now confirm it’s possible! Arnd’s Micra at least.

We’d hoped the weather might be a bit better further south, and it was, but not drastically. Apparently Konstanz is the only place in Germany you can grow banannas, but it wasn’t real warm while we were there.

Still it’s a beautiful city, despite the insane traffic, and we walked around for a few hours taking pictures and generally taking it easy.

We popped into Switzerland on the way home to check out the Rhinefall, which is a big arse waterfall, apparently the largest in Europe. It was pretty damn specy, even if it was raining again!

On the way back to Böblingen we stopped at Arnd’s place in Tübingen and made sort-of stir-fry curry kinda stuff, which turned out pretty well actually. Afterward we had Tiramisu for desert which was seriously tops. A rocking day.
