Fotos!

Okay here are the photos.

First let me tell you something slenger. So I woke up at the usual..645am ish. While Shah my roomie slept till 8!!! But no rush lah today since we were only due at 930am. My group likes to be early you see.

So after breakfast I went back to my room to wake shah up but she was awake already. Then we found out from the bus driver that the shops are all closed except the Christmas market which closes at 2pm.

WTH! So i had half the mind of not going, but my neighbours and Shah were going, so go la.

When we reached downtown, EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED. The christmas market people were PACKING UP! WALAO! I thought I could get some pommes frites buttttt. BAH~! See, most shops are closed on Sundays, plus today being Christmas eve, that catalysed the closement. (CLOSEMENT!)

So we walked around abit, window shopping, cannot buy, becos shops are closed. SO GERAM!!! Boots at 9.90 Euros!!!!!!! OMG!

Sat at Macs a while then cannot take it, we left for hostel. So here I am. haha.

Okay dah photos. So we went to Fuessen yesterday, home of the castles. Super cold, because there was snow everywhere. Had to be a couple of degrees subzero.

The only time you can lie on the ground and not get dirty.


At the foot of Schloss Neuschwanstein. It was a 1.5km walk up slopes decorated with Horse manure. Harum and steaming.


Finally reached the entrance.

Then we went to the bridge. Which was another long assed hike up a steeper slope, but no horse poop this time. Just lots of snow and it was very slippery. I called home while hiking up the slope. at least 40 mins of tedious walking.


The bridge!


But the hike was worth it, I think cos we had a view of the castle from afar.


You know these two guys. They say "Schokolade" and "Kuchen" in SUCH a vile manner, as if swearing at someone, padahal it means "chocolate" and "cake", respectively.

I totally blame myself for teaching them more german words. Haha.
