Everyone woke up right in the morning at 6+, after breakfast we rushed off to validate our train pass, boarded e train and everyting was according to schedule. EVen thou our pass is only valid for germany and swizterland, we hafta chiong thru 1 stop in Austria before we reach Germany. So.. as always, we formulated this all powerful plan that once the conductor arrive, we shall all start speakin in tongues.. CHinese tt is.. hhahaha.. N true enough we were approached and had to purchase separate tix for Austria stop for 10 sgd each.. Lucky it was stil affordable..

5 hr train and we were all rottin lik pudges onboard the train, so we all whipped out cameras to take pics..

CHALLENGE: how to take to avoid reflections, how to use e correct shuttle speed to avoid motion blur..

Finali after 5 hrs of havin backside glued to seats, we reached Fussen!! Its vari nice.. n pretty cold coz its 800m above sea level or so Paul says.. When we were at the bus station, we saw 2 cheena gers n we began to sprout our Cmi german in hope of impressing them, but when they boarded the bus, they spoke more fluently dan us. ahhahah, so throw face.. After 5km of bus, we finally reach..

Erm.. Wasnt THAT impressive as the pics on net shows.. hmmm. lucky we din spend 18 sgd to tour the castle.. U judge!
