AFter a dae of rest back at our homely hostel at Dietikon, the 4 of us set off on yet another journey to scharzwald, black forest region in Germany which are famous for their cuckoo clocks.. (which we din see alot aniwae)..
*Juz a short sidetrack, if yer wondering what r we doin in hostel daily..*

Wow, Mom yer the best! ahhahah.. since me paul n jh live tgt, we have a special role to play..

Ok back to the trip.. As usual we set off at the time when even the rooster are still asleep to catch our train to 1st stop.. Konstanz.. a reputedly beautiful city of Germany tts famous for its lake.. Took a 2hr ride and we step out of the train.. We knew we had committed the worst mistake of our stay in swiss.. Imagine a subzero temp with strong wind from the lake.. We cun even stay in the open for too long! Gosh.. Quickly took sum pics and off we are..
Dun tink i am smiling so hapily! I got frostbites on my hand til it bled!!!! =(
Plan B.. Titisee.. which was 3hr ride away and the must see place within Schwarzwald, Blackforest.
On the way, we transited at Donaueschingen..
Since paul had problem pronouncing tt word, we shorten it to "Duno-wad-shingen". ahaha, was cursing our luck for missing the train and ending with 1hr to do nothing.. Decided to walk ard the seemingly dead town.. To our surprise, we unearth many picturesome places, the church, the park, the brigde, etc..
We were somewad reluctant to leave the rustic old town..*esp havin seen birkenstock sandals for only 44 euro* however, we had to part.. Rush on to titisee..
Upon reaching, there were a nice bakery there which sells pretty cheap bread n cake!! Utilized my broken german to buy 2 cakes n rolls for everyone b4 we stepped out of the station.. Once again, we felt lousy as theres nutin much except a few hostels ard..
Determined nt to let our dae be a flop *and be swindled by wikitravel* We march on, into forbidden territories, climbed the slopes, crossed the bridge and finally! We spotted wad seems lik our destination.. the Titisee!!! (its a sea fyi)
Since titisee was within the black forest, we decided to go exploring the hiking regions to see if the trees are really black.. *tt was a dumb thought on paul's part*
Its a gud place for a quiet vacation! Affordable prices, close to nature, and so much hiking trails.. nice for a couple vacation.. =) *Wan to go Ms sammy?*
Went back to Konstanz to do some grocery shoppin *e househusband nature emerged again* Got some real cheap broccoli for 1+ sgd, some meat, fish, chicken tt we cun afford in swiss and went over to explore schaffhausen, where europe's largest waterfall, the Rheinfall is.. Too bad.. By the time we reach there, its pitch black.. Worse still..
WAd the!?!!?
Wen back to cook dinner and our dae ended..
