visited Blackforest last wkend with the Stevenage gals. We rented a car and drove around the Blackforest & its surrounding regions, exploring the pretty little towns, taking in the beautiful scenery (& of coz stuffing our faces with the awesome food!!)
the first town we visited was Strasbourg.. (France)
Cathedral of Notre Dame
town centre..
le petit France ~ (a region within Strasbourg)
we then visited the university town of Tubingen.. it's so pretty it actually looks fake and 2-Dimensional in photos! a pity we only reached there at night though.. everything's closed!
Sunday was explore-nature-day ~ coz all the shops everywhere are closed on Sundays in Germany.
beautiful lake Titisee
Europe's highest waterfall.. Triberg wasserfall (it's a lil trickle reli..disappointing!)
now here's the real deal.. Rhine falls! Europe's largest waterfall
view from the top
the region around the Blackforest is especially famous for their cuckoo clocks..
each is intricately crafted..
and here's the world's largest clock!
visited Freiburg (Germany) on the last day
there are lil canals that run through the town centre
apparently they're there for easy access to water in the event of fire..
also, legend has it that if a lady jumps into the canal, she'll marry a Freiburg man! i dunno about boys though..
and finally.. how can any trip be complete without the food?!
check out the odd shaped pumpkins!
special pasta dumpling = pork meat wrapped up in special pasta skin
Strasbourg speciality = flat pizza with onion & cream
meat loafs..
pretty german pastries..
and loads more pastries!
german nudle + pork, beef & turkey steaks in mushroom sauce
pancake soup! ~ PANCAKE soup! haha. we were incredulous when we first saw it. it's reli pieces of pancakes in the soup. tastes surprisingly nice =)
some house special.. spinach meatball.. tastes reli good as well. doesn't look like a meatball at all though.
super duper huge bread..looks more like a stone eh.
the famous Blackforest cake! - the supposedly authentic version is so different from the Prima Deli one. it has got REAL cherries + loads of rum & cream!
and thick creamy german cheesecake
~gone in a moment..
