I cannot imagine a more peaceful and calming thing then spending time at Lake Constance after the touristy rush hours. The birds get calm, the lights are dimmed, the water is not messed up by motor boats, no parties, no kids begging for more ice cream ... From time to time I come across somebody who is looking for the same peace and quiet. We will nod at each other and not break the silence. It's starting to get cold outside, the lights in the houses are being turned off and people go to bed. I'm not going back home yet. I need to soak up that peaceful atmosphere a little longer. Only a few days and I will be back in the city again ...
