跨年之旅 08/09 Europe trip

First of all, let me introduce my travel buddies, from the L: me, Jackie, AY & WY :) . We travelled to Frankfurt, Munich, Salzburg and Vienna. Here we go, hope i can persevere and post up as much as i can!!! enjoy :)

Day 1
Me, WY & AY flew into the frankfurt via Budapest from Kiev on the 27th Dec while Jackie flew from simferopol via istanbul and we met up at the Frankfurt airport on that saturday night.
We then took off to our host house! ( we found Carsten, our host on couchsurfers.com )
He stays 3 stations away from the main train station, we reached his place very late and called it off for a day and went to bed to get enough rest for next day's black forest trip!
Everyone loves Carsten! :) (FYI,he is a vegetarian, a Buddhist and a band guitar player! He is even kind enough to give us his albums as souvenirs!!! thanks yea!)
A look at the house we stayed in (it's not Carsten's, but a similar one)

Day 2
As early as 6am we struggled (not enough sleep, cold winter) our way to the main train station and started our 5 hours journey to Freiburg! (in between we had to transit 4 times since we bought a budget group ticket which is much cheaper!)

Tasty snacks we saw in the main train station!!! too expensive to have one myself :(
We had some power nap along the way, and finally we reached our destination- Freiburg! After consulting the tourist information counter, we didn't waste much time in Freiburg & continued our way up to the hill, to Titisee (cute name!) which is a skiing resort I suppose :)

A horse-cart makes it more fairy tale :)
A proof to show we are in black forest >.<
A lot of wooden handy-craft can be seen here, which are made of the black forest wood?!?
The sceneries in Titisee was breath-taking!!! It is like a fairy tale little town, surrounded by the black forest... for the reason that it is covered with snow makes it more beautiful :)
There is even a lake up on this hill, with the black forest in the background, don't you feel like exclaiming: wahhhhhh~~~ >.< (we all were stunned by the magnificent view)






Alright, I was told that being in Black Forest, 2 food which u cant miss are the Frankfurter ham and the black forest cake!!! and hell ya how would we miss it? Hehehe...
The ham tasted fantastic ( personal opinion :) ) and it is sold cheaper here than other places in germany! It would be the best snack to go with a beer or wine :) ...awww~ I miss the ham.
And next comes the Black forest cake!!!
4 of us each ordered a different cake, there were of course the black forest cake on the top right corner, followed by the choc cake, the blackberry cake and the vanilla+rum cake...all of them were soooo yummy!!! I personally fell for the vanilla+rum cake :)

After a satisfying sweet meal and some sight seeing, we made our way down hill back to the little town, Freiberg. It was quite late and getting very cold by the time we reached there, most shops were already closed. We just strolled around the town and admired the architectures. :)


At around 6pm plus, we hopped onto the train again n there we went, another 5 hours journey back to frankfurt! We collapsed straight after we went back to Carsten's place...zzz

stay tuned for Frankfurt Day 3 :)
(gosh, took me almost 3 hrs for this post, Fufu, how much time u spent for one post???sweat...hahaha)
