#3: Germany

Journey continued from Holland to Luxembourg first.

Okay I just Google-d and found out that Luxembourg is a country itself, surrounded by Germany, France and Belgium, so it meant that I was in eight countries instead of seven. And I thought it was part of Germany. My bad my bad.

Adolphe Bridge behind us.


Jean and I with an on-duty guard.

Headed to Germany after doing all the sightseeing. First stop and last stop for the night was at Rhine Valley - for dinner.

This soup, I think I also know how to boil.

Carrots, onions, leeks and potatoes and just boil. -_-

German beer for €2.20.

Pork knuckles which was not too bad.

And awesome possum custard pudding. Or something.

ABSOLUTE YUMMINESS!

It was back to hotel after that, and I became some sort of a legend.

Drinking in my Rangers shirt = my pajamas in a bar. *Thumbs up*

My Wei Zen beer + Coke which was €2 (~ RM8).

And came all the craziness.

The locals treated us to some drinks. To "welcome" us. All of them shots. *Faints*

Baileys + Vodka??

Vodka??

I gave up on the last three because my head was spinning hahaha.

Final shot was some shit that was like traditional Chinese oil or dit ta jau.

Smelled and tasted like urghhhh.

2/5 and I nearly got pawned for the night lol~

Definitely had a good sleep!

Europe!

*Blows dust*

I think it's time for some update eh? ;)

Uni exams ended on 16th September and on that same night itself, I left my beloved home in Sheffield for Europe. Was in the continent for two weeks (17th - 30th); leaving footprints in seven countries during the period.

Average time spent in one country is about two days. -_-

You know how people go for food testing in a buffet during the first round to see which dish that they like the most? And then eat more of what they liked from the second round onwards? This Europe trip works exactly like that.

It's like a 'country testing' thing to see which countries that we liked. And then we have to fork out more money to go to those specific countries that we want to explore in depth in the future.

Anywayyyyyyyyy.. the seven countries are:

(You might find ugly and fat photos of me below but I'm still posting them up just because I'm kind. :p)

i) Belgium

Sightseeing in the city of Brussels.

ii) Netherlands (or better known as Holland)

With the three oldest (I think) windmills.

Luxembourg.

iii) Germany

Eating the famous German pork knuckles in a restaurant in Rhine Valley.

Not forgetting German beer in a local beer house in Munich!

iv) Austria

At Swarovski Crystal World in Innsbruck.

v) Italy

In Verona - touching Juliet's erm, boobies for luck in love life.

(Don't know why because the Romeo and Juliet story didn't have a good ending????)

(You might also recognize this statue if you'd watched Letters to Juliet.)

On a gondola ride in Venice.

Vatican City.

(Sigh super sunny and hot and sweaty that day but still had to put on my sweater in case the guards didn't let me in.)

Making a wish at the Fontana di Trevi, Rome.

Panoramic view of Florence from Michelangelo's Hill.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Milan, the city of fashion.

vi) Switzerland

Engelberg - Mount Titlis!

vii) France
Charmonix Mont-Blanc.

Paris Disneyland!

And of course, the wonderful Eiffel Tower.

So after "eating" the "Europe buffet", the "dishes" that I loved the most was.. Italy and France!

The Colosseum.

EIFFEL TOWER.

Eiffel Tower at night.

So beautiful, how could I not go there again??


I guess this post also works like the buffet thing? Detailed posts about each place will be done later on. Heee.
