Switzerland 2011 (Romanshorn)

The town of Romanshorn


I took the train early morning from Uster to Zurich main station, before boarding one that goes to Romanshorn. I had no particular city in mind that day, just wanted to explore the beautiful country at a leisurely pace.



Romanshorn was extremely peaceful, as I alighted the terminal station beside the Lake of Constance, and walked in the cold wind towards the Seepark, I rarely saw a car passed by along the main streets. I guess everyone was cozying beside the fire place at home or in the offices. Coming from a tiny island that is getting more populated by the year, the experience at Romanshorn was quite welcoming, and I truly enojyed the fresh air, tranquility and misty view of the lake.
