Tuesday 24th July - Lake Constance

Over breakfast we decided that yesterday fulfilled our spa expectations and saved us around 100euros, so instead of hanging around for another day we headed to Lake Constance.
It seemed a shame to spend a beautiful day in the van but this is not the UK, hopefully we'll get more nice days!?
After a couple of hours we arrived at Lake Constance - beautiful.  We headed to the cool camping site only to find it jam packed.
Another drive around and we realised that parking was a big issue and pricey too.
We found a layby with direct access to a beach and relaxed for a while near the lake. After plenty of snorkelling for Rich and the kids and lots of reading by me (bit chilly in the water today) we demolished a watermelon and decided we should find a proper campsite with showers and a laundrette.  Cool camping had an alternative site further inland, but with a heated pool and great facilities so we decided "who needs the lake when you have a pool?!".

Luckily they had space and we could set up camp properly, we actually slept in the tent this time as we could eat ad cook outside.
We looked at a couple of spots onsite and decided that the one next to the play park and close to the "facilities" was a great option, watch the kids play from the comfort of your own arm chair. (delusional about the comfort factor of my camping chairs already!!)
