Friday night 2nd December saw Ron & I drive to Zurich airport to pick up Jen.  What a lovely meeting.  Home for hot tomato soup and catch up.
Saturday was time to start sight seeing.  Off we went to visit Radolfzell- a lively 1200 year old town on Lake Constance.  Th attractive town centre was alive with the Christmas Markets.  A Gluewein to start the day- but not quite to Jen's liking.  No matter- her Opa & Wend enjoyed it well enough!  But hot chestnuts straight off the coals- definitely a must. yummmmmmmmmmmm.  Waffle not bad also.  Lunch was eaten standing around a table munching a hot potato & cheese pizza bought from one of the Christmas stalls.  We walked around the small harbour and viewed the Sculpture - Standing Wave "El Niño" on the shores. 
After viewing many early century buildings we left and drove to Stein am Rhein- a town in the canton of Schaffhausen.  Stein am Rhein has a well preserved medieval centre - with many medieval buildings painted with beautiful frescoes.
We walked around this lovely ancient town before heading home - late afternoon.  
On arriving home we were invited to Mryta & Werner's for afternoon tea.  Werner our 82 year old visitor to Perth before we left- decided Australia was enough for him and arrived back in Büsingen- safe thank goodness.
