Bodensee bound

  posted by ryan 24 November 2009

Fellow ICON team member and explorer Jamie Kuchenmeister and I recently hopped on a train bound for the town of Romanshorn, a 20 minute ride from the city of St. Gallen. Romanshorn is situated on beautiful Lake Constance and the foothills of the Swiss and Austrian Alps. A sleepy fishing town, Romanshorn offers a peaceful, quiet atmosphere for recreation, fresh air, and comfortable hospitality. Sailing, water skiing, and serene natural trails along the lakeside offer visitors plenty of activities to the adventure seeking naturalist. We boarded our ferry with ambitions of traveling to Germany for the afternoon and enjoying some delicious German/Swiss cuisine. Upon arrival in [Germany] the sun began to show its face from behind the treeline.  We had made it and we were stoked, or so we thought. We quickly learned that we had departed too early from the boat and were still in fact in Switzerland. We continued to explore, enjoying a nice promenade along the shoreline until we reached the town of Bottighofen, where we stopped to enjoy a beer, schnitzel, and some chips.
