Am Bodensee!

The past 4 days I have been visiting my cousin, Kai in Meckenbeuren. A small town in Bodensee, a district in the south-east of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The first day we took a train into Friedrichshafen and took a walk a long the promenade.

The second day we took a boat ride to Constance and spent the day in Constance. Constance is a beautiful old city!

On Wednesday I went to the Pfahlbauten museum...a fascinating stone-age village in Unteruhldingen on the bodensee...

Last sunset in Oulu and farewells!

The last evening in Oulu we watched an amazing sunset over the ocean at Nalli Kari, a popular holiday place in Oulu. A perfect way to end my amazing journey in Finland...

The next morning at 11am I boarded my plane from Oulu to Helsinki and met up with Marko and Paul at Helsinki airport, where we played a final round of "13teens" and then we parted ways, Marko flying via Stockholm to Vienna Paul to Berlin and me vis London to Stuttgart...

Upon arriving in Stuttgart I was welcomed with a huge hug from my aunt and uncle who stay in Lenningen. The first day we drove to Bad Urach, one of many beautiful small towns in the South of Germany.

Just before we headed home, we visited a beautiful castle on top of a hill...
