Woke up really early on Day 3. I guess both me and mum were the first few to wake up that day. Haha. Hence, we walked around the hotel while waiting for breakfast.
We walked around car park and took photos in the middle of the empty road. I think it’s around 5 something in the morning but it’s already very bright. Realised they prefer hunch back cars. Hehe.
Breakfast, well, american style again. Not much choices compared to the previous one but not bad.
Maybe the sausages weren’t that nice. Cheese were for my mum. Hehe. After breakfast, we checked out and headed to Hidelberg Castle.
It’s really huge and …. brown. Haha. Very pretty though. Castle always reminds me of princess and prince and how they live happily ever after :)
I wonder how they tell the time cause I have no idea wha time it is. Hehe. The bad thing about the “clock” may be that one have to stand outside of the house to tell the time. Imaging that you’re in the toilet doing “big business” and suddenly you want to know what time it is. Troublesome right? Or maybe at night, you would like to know what time it is but you can’t. The “clock” is closed for the day. Haha.
The scary looking gate at the entrance. It’s part of the castle defence system as well.
The small balcony so that the owner of the castle can view the parade that is happening on the ground from the castle.
Part of the castle which has been ruined. The tour guide said the castle cannot be demolished when it was passed from one generation to the next generation as it may be disrespectful towards the ancestor. What they can do is jut renovate the castle. Can add a few here and there but cannot tore down the building and rebuilt.
Inside the castle are 3 wine barrel. Small, medium and large. As you can see, the large one is really huge. Enough wine supply for one life time. Haha.
This is the wine caretaker and entertainer. He will invest things that will entertain the owner of the castle and take care of the wine as well. Rumour has it that he drinks wine all the time. One day, he drank plain water and died. Haha. Not sure to believe or not though.
Then we went to the outer part of the castle to take photographs. I think they are renovating part of the castle so that it will be more pretty. Hehe.
View from the castle. It has a river view. So pretty. With mountains as the background as well. Hehe.
I wonder how many rooms are inside and how many bathrooms. Hehe. It’s really big that I think it can accommodate 50 people. Can nearly bring the whole kampung. Haha.
The side view from the castle. It’s the small town area. No high rise building. Naisseee
After that, we headed to the garden. The arch at the entrance of the garden is a birthday present for the wife. It even has a really big key hole on the side. Maybe the key is made of gold and diamonds. Haha.
After that, we boarded the bus again and headed to the black forest.
They said if you are on top of the forest, you can see the whole forest is black in colour as the trees are very near to each other. We went there for a tour in the cuckoo clock shop and lunch with black forest cake as dessert. Haha.
I must say that I don’t really like the cake because it’s quiet wet. As if the whole cake was soaked in water previously. Haha. After lunch, we went to the cuckoo clock factor for a tour to see how a cuckoo clock was made.
Name of the shop is Drubba and it’s really famous. Their cuckoo clocks are very beautifully made and exported to every part of the world. My house used to have a cuckoo clock last time. I even have some “history” with the clock. An unlucky one, I must say. Hehe.
While the others are busy shopping for branded stuff, we went for cherries shopping. Haha. Check out the huge strawberries. Really sweet and juicy, no kidding. Hehe.
After that, we headed to Rheinfall. It is one of the biggest waterfall in Europe.
We just admire from far because the currents looked really scary. You can actually take a boat to the rock in the middle of the fall and climb up to the rock but then it’s exactly the same as what we seen from where we were standing. Haha. Managed to take photographs of a rainbow too but it’s hardly visible here. Haihhzzz….
A big fat dog sleeping on the group. Baby, you like this dog?? Boyfriend?? Yes?? No?? Okay, I guess no. Haha.
After that, we headed back to the hotel.
This has the be the most white hotel that I have ever been to. Even though it’s small but the bed is one of the most comfortable during the whole trip. Our toilet don’t have a door as well. So I’m actually shivering during my shower. Kesian. But I love the shower as it is attached on the ceiling. My dream shower for my dream home. Hehe.
That’s all for Germany and part of Switzerland. Sorry that it took so long for this post cause I can’t recall the name of the castle. Haha.
