So it was a cold night that started to pour as we got lost in the town, supposedly a quiet one. We were once again saved by strangers, this time a lovely couple from Munich, lending us their phone to call our host. Then, our amazing host Kevin appeared superman-style, in red pants and armed with two foldable umbrellas; we were led to our accommodation. One more problem: we were hungry, and Saturday night was supposed to be quiet, everything closed before 6pm and won't be opened until Monday. Bad timing... Until he told us about the wine party that's going on!!! So we tried three different traditional German dishes that tasted like heaven (not sure if the hunger played a part but they were really delicious by any standard; how else to be traditional?!) and met one of his female friends.
As the rain subsided, we went on a night town tour that continued the next morning. Took a trip to Switzerland by foot, standing in between the EU/non-EU before we left for the "real" Switzerland. If there's a place that's underrated, it's Konstanz in Germany. Or maybe, we're just there at the right time. But it is, quoting Ms Blur, "a museum" on the outside, with nice facades and medieval-like cobblestone paths.
And did I mention that Kevin is fluent in 4 languages and understands many others, a well-travelled dude that started his wanderlust at the age of 16, living in 4 different countries the past 7 years, and quoting the mesmerized Ms Blur again, "he's handsome!"
Konstanz was a 7.5/10; surf on Kevin's couch and it'll make your trip there a 8.5/10; add in the wine party and traditional food: 9.5/10
