Insel Mainau



Insel Mainau is this little flower island off of Konstanz. It's probably a bit smaller than Protection Island. Anna and went there a couple of weeks ago since we got free ferry passes and entry to the Island. Otherwise, we'd be paying 30 euros... which would mean we would not have visited it because I'm cheap and like to spend my money on more important things...



The Romanov's used to summer here. Actually, I don't know what they did here, but the last building is a church (pic below shows the inside) and a bunch of them are buried there. Also, Church's are so nice and cool to escape the heat!



I love my orchids, and they do too. This picture was taken inside this gigantic greenhouse where the royal family would eat. There's palm trees, parrots, and hundreds of orchids all arranged in different tiki themes..



We saw a wedding. Actually, we see a lot of weddings. Konstanz is like the Vancouver Island of South Germany. It's so beautiful there.
