Mainau Island

On Saturday we returned to Konstanz (we were there back in April for the end of our big Italy trip). In April we had stayed at the Peterhof Hotel (I highly recommend it!) and had the best dinner at their restaurant and the included breakfast the next morning was nothing less than awesome. Last time we were not able to make it to Mainau Island on the Bodensee (the big, big lake down where Germany meets Switzerland). This time we went straight there and opted not to stay overnight but make it simply a day trip.
Well, Mainau Island is basically one big garden/park. You leave your car in the parking lot on the mainland and walk across a bridge to the wonderful land of flowers, a castle, flowers, play areas, wonderful views and even more flowers. It was sunny and simply gorgeous. We even saw a very fancy, formal wedding party that were on their way to the chapel (and after the church bells rang for a while we saw them all outside taking pictures in their elegant wear-- I would have been so uncomfortable in formal wear in that heat, but oh well.)
We took a lot of pics, but not any of the wedding party (sorry)... and here are some of the shots we took for you to enjoy:
