An amble around the lake to Meersburg





We certainly found the sun in Lake Constance. It`s been a lovely day here by the Lake.
Quite where all the campers were in Ferienpark Gohren am See we never found out and as we weren`t impressed with the place we will never find out as it`s not somewhere we`ll go back to.

We set off this morning along the lake road and first called in to a small town called Langenargen. It was quite a pleasant little town and a walk was enjoyed along the lake and around the shops.
After that we lost the lake road and got completely lost in some suburban area. Tom Tom came to the rescue and got on track for our destination for this evening.
It`s a very pretty town called Meersburg, it couldn`t be more different to Ferienpark Gohren am See.
It sits right on Lake Constance and the Stellplatz were on (GPS 47.70133 9.27217) is a ten minute walk into the town. The best part is, showing the parking ticket we paid 12 euro for, gets us free bus travel for today and tomorrow, so we were able to get the bus back up the hill.

There are also three other British motorhomes here so after hardly seeing another Brit for weeks, we`re now surrounded. It was nice to have a chat with them all and discussions were had over various routes and destinations each had taken.

This is a big wine growing region and driving here took us past acres and acres of beautifully maintained vineyards. The town has a medieval Castle and a Palace and has some very quaint streets and shops to look around.
There is also a Zepplin Museum nearby and we saw an air ship float past us while we were sitting overlooking the lake.

Tomorrow I think we will make a move north and begin the final leg towards home. I`ve planned a route and found some interesting towns and villages to visit, so it`ll be short hops and who knows what we`ll find ?
