A trip to Deutschland

we spent a day in Germany,Frankfurt before our flight to Czech..guess it was all the luggage hassles that made our day in Frankfurt somehow...a lil' sucky.


- Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof = Frankfurt main train station-

Anyway,we had our lunch at the German market...got my 1st taste of FAT pork..argh~*shudders* half of my 3euros worth of meat went down the bin XD then we lepak around the city,which MAGGI was spotted!fresh flowers were sold at a relatively cheap price...1 stalk of sunflower 1euro only wey...so gonna drag my future bf here next time!*evil laughter*

-flowers..the sunflowers there are HUGE!-

lotsa historical monuments,but we never study German history oso...dunno how 2read the info there oso coz it's written all in german...don't care lah,just grab our cameras and camwhore only XD
and...we got oh so excited because of this...


-MAGGI!!kebanggaan malaysia-

-A catholic(i think) church we entered...coz we saw lotsa tourists entering,plus the entrance is free XP


then after 3nites spent in Czech,we went back to Germany(2 thumbs up to EasyJet!),spending half a day in Dortmund.paid a few euros(can't remember how much) to enter a seemingly abandoned park -___-" oh btw,flamingoes are really pink..PINK!gosh,i thought pink flamingoes only appear in story books... visited the stadium which housed BSV Dortmund as well(don't ask me,no idea).

-PINKY flamingoes yo-

took an endless train journey to Fuessen later...for the highlight of this Germany trip..

Neuschwanstein+Hohenschwangau castle.
Neuschwanstein castle's one of the new World 7Wonders finalist.

- Hohenschwangau Castle-
-breathtaking sceneries...try spotting Hohenschwangau castle =) -

- Neuschwanstein castle. risked the possibility of falling of from a cliff for this shot-

and of course,since we took the trouble and risk our precious lives to climb up the cliff,we decided to make the journey...worthwhile.

-by camwhoring!-
-and camwhoring again!-

-The Swan Lake-
my opinion?

the sceneries around the castle worth the merit more than the castle itself.frankly,the castle didn't really impress me,but the sceneries did.very much.

then it was a looOOOONG train trip before we finally reached Berlin.after settling down in our hostel(try counting how many dayz i didn't bathe XP),we visited the Reichstag,the German parliament,which seriously put us Msians to shame.our parliament building sad case can..

-on top of the Reichstag building.-
-down there sits the hall where parliament meetings are held.these glasses are supposed to reflect the sunlights to provide both light+heat.fuh..talkin about canggih-ness+saving fuel!-

went to the Brandenburg Gate and the monument in memories of the Jews killed during the Nazi regime as well.we nearly gave the 'jaga' a heart attack thereXD

-we climbed,we jumped,we stood higher n higher...
"oi,no no...come down!*flags hand franctically*trails of with German not understood"

XD

-Brandenburg Gate-
-Berlin Cathedral-
- Autumn In my Heart live in Berlin XD
-
our day ended with a wee drinkin session at the club near our hostel.

2nd day was my long awaited visit to the Berlin wall after looking at it through my encyclopedia since i was a kid.peiling said Berlin wall could be named as the most disappointing tourist spot(together with the copenhagen mermaid+s'pore merlion) but i think otherwised.i am in fact impressed by the graffiti.very much.

"taxi in Germany are all Mercedes-Benz..."

-Taxi,anyone?-

our last night in Germany was spent at the Sony Centre.yup,Sony Centre.haha...with the combination of other buildings around,namely the DB building(DB=die bahnhof=the train=germany public transport) the view was....WHOA~!!cosmopolitan..metropolitan...whatever XD

- DB building-
-inside Sony Centre,with DB building-

dinner was the long spoken Germany famous pork knuckles.grilled or cooked(traditional).

damn the idea of digging into the pork knuckles,especially those cooked ones still give me cold shivers.

-Grilled-
-or Cooked-
