Ueberlingin, Germany

So this post isn't going to be much but pictures. This is Ueberlingin, our first stay in Germany. James had his meetings in this quaint little town and I fell in love with it. It is absolutely GORGEOUS here. And the people are very kind. I told James if we had to live there I could do it. We're not terribly far from bigger cities or the border of Germany/Switzerland or Germany/Austria. The lake in the following pictures was the border some times. The restaurants were very tasty too. I was never disappointed. I would easily go there again. On our first full day there I just explored Ueberlingin (I went elsewhere the other two days but those will be separate posts). Most of my exploration was in the large outdoor garden that was across from our hotel. I hope you enjoy, I have lots more but I'll post in order of things did.
This was our rental: a Citroen DS5. Not bad...Got to 110mph (175kmh) in this baby...

Driving from Zurich to Ueberlingin

Lots of little cities like this everywhere I loved it! And the churches were always the center of town or placed high above them.

An entrance into part of the old wall of Ueberlingin. The wall is from around the time period of the 1200s!

There was a romantic air about it all - I tried to soak it all in as best as possible.



This was at the top of the hill - it's a little cottage that sells treats or something. Cute! It wasn't open though :(

Ueberlingin in the morning


Not the best picture - found it off the internet - But our hotel was the Bad Hotel. I have to laugh at the name every time. It's just funny :) You pronounce it like "bod" but it's spelled bad. Where those people are walking on the sidewalk, just one floor above them was where our window was.

This was our view of the town from our window. I thought I was shooting straight but I guess not.
 Well, again, I hope you enjoyed :) There is more to come, including more of Ueberlingin. But for now, this is as far as I got with sprucing up my photos :) Until next time!
