Bavaria to Bodensee

We set out in our Audi A4-Citroen Picasso caravan through Bavarian countryside towards Lake Konstanz (aka Bodensee), stopping along the way to take in the impressive landscape.

We made it to Lake Constance that night after dark and met up with our gracious hosts - my brother-in-law's brother and his family. They put us up for a couple of nights, fed us delicious food, and showed us the sights around town.

This 9-meter-tall rotating statue is at the water's edge.
She is Imperia, a prostitute, holding the pope in one hand, the king in the other.

If only we could have our own private local tour guide in every town...
