Honeymoon Part 5 - Germany - Cologne, Heidelberg & Black Forest

Day 7: 18th April 2013 Thursday


After depart from Netherlands, our next destination is Germany. To visit Cologne to see one of the most fascinating old towns in the country and as well as the Cologne Cathedral. Below are some of the pictures of the beautiful Cathedral from far. 














Even till today, after visiting so many churches in Europe. This Cathedral is the most beautiful to me. Be it external or internal design, words are unable to describe how beautiful this church is to me.
















He looks good even though he not looking into camera. ^^
Super busy helping team mates to take photo. 






















The Main Door into the Cathedral
























































After visiting the Cathedral, we are heading for our lunch. Introduce by Alvin, this Keba is very delicious. This is my first time eating Keba. It is GOOD !










After lunch, we have some free and easy time for shopping.
For shoppers please take note. You can buy your branded stuffs especially watches. Germany has very high tax rebates and before tax rebates the prices are discounted as well. Just see whether you are lucky whether they have stocks or not. 

Passing by some pastry shops, seriously if I am not that full I would have bought some puffs to eat .





After shopping we head on our journey, the next stop is Rhineland - Heidelberg. 
Below are some of the pictures during our pit stop. So many ice cream to purchase during cold weather. So shiok to eat them ^^ But I am a coffee person hence usually I will opt for my coffee during pit stop.







You may wonder what I am taking. 
Actually majority of the people are taking scenery, I am more interested in the trees. LOL
Isnt they special and unique ? No way you can find these kind of trees in spore. 













































This is the Heidelberg Castle. 
Kinda far but we zoom our camera.






























Spending money on the fridge magnet whenever I go to each country. 
The post card is not cheap but they are funny. Haha !
















Can someone tell me what this sign means? Only mummy and children zone ?









This is the chinese resturant at Heidelberg. 
Today we will be having chinese food here for our lunch.



This is the history of Heidelberg. Saw this board somewhere 



Took these 2 pictures in the bus ride. The sky is so blue and beautiful.




Day 8: 19th April 2013 Friday


My dear trees. How I wish I can have a tree like this at home in my garden.





Arriving at the tourist resort township of Titisee, home to Germany's largest cuckoo clock centre .
Very special place and it is drizzling. Kinda freezing here.
Other than Holland, I love Germany !



























We are waiting for 12 o clock for the cuckoo bird in the cuckoo clock to make some noise. 
Haha... Despite the rain, all of us stand by our camera.
Eventually, nothing happens. Haha !

No ice cream into the shop ? 

Today we not going to have chinese food. We gonna have ..... original Black Forest Lunch.
Beautiful resturant setting ....





Yes definitely have a cuckoo clock.

Scenery outside the restaurant.



3 couples having the original Black Forest lunch with the famous 
German pork knuckles and sausages. Yum Yum !














 Learn how the cuckoo clock is made and perhaps, you might just fall in love with these intricate hand-made clocks. They are not cheap, but they are definitely worth the buy



































Next, we continue our journey. We cross the border to Switzerland and continue to Schaffhausen to view the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Western Europe.



Trying hard to self take picture of our own. 
Opss we forget about the umbrella. After a few try, we succeed.
