Before the unbearable heat, we visited small island Mainau, which is a "flowering island" notable for its parks and gardens. Frederick I, Grand Duke of Baden, created the island's arboretum, which now contains 500 species of deciduous and coniferous trees, many exotic and valuable.
Same photo (same place and same pose) took my mom many years ago, when we were visiting Switzerland and Island Mainau.

City: Überlingen
Currently the grounds are home to the middle school campus of the boarding school Schule Schloss Salem, which is considered one of the most elite schools in Europe.
Meersburg is a charming fairytale, medieval city, which we couldn't explore the first day, because the storm caught us soon after our arrival in the city. Then, we refreshed and "showered" ourselves while searching for our room in heavy rain. Finally we succeeded, and we got the beautiful view out of our window on the Lake Constance after the storm.
