25/9 was travelling day. We
took 5 hour drive to Innsbruck of Austria. It's really interesting to find that
traveling from Italy to Austria, you don't have to pass any immigration or
custom. We just sat in the coach and it went through the border where you even
did not know. This is the result of European Union but I just wonder how they
can control the illegal immigration and labour problem.
Austria is a good place with
low population density. We had the delicious meal of the trip there, even it
was a chinese cuisine. The streamed fish, which was from the local river as
per the restaurant owner, was as fresh as fresh salmon. The roasted chicken and
fried eggs are very good too 
We had around 2 hrs shopping time in
Innsbruck after lunch. Then, leaving Austria to Germany. What a pity that we did
not visit the headquarter of Swaroski where the entrance was really amazing. We
just bought some gifts for our family in the shop.
We arrived Fussen of Germany at
round 7:30pm after another 4 hr journey. Maybe we were in the countryside, the
houses around there were very funny. They are just like what we saw about small
village in the cartoons. Small houses and triange roof and colourful painting
on the walls. The colourful flowers planted outside the windows made the
scenery more attractive. I wondered what it looked like inside and thought
that it would be great if we could stay in the houses.
My wish came true soon, but it was not as joyful as I
thought. We settled at Xuro Xark Hotel which was at the middle of that kind
of "village". It was rather old inside. Old in term of the lift, in terms of
the staff who was wearing blue cotton labour pants, in terms of the room without
TV!! It's really surprising to find there was no TV in the room. We just knew
during checkout that TV was only suuplied upon request at the front desk and the
staff would deliver a TV to your room!!! It was too slient in the room and I
found my ears "woo woo" after settling down....but since too tired, I did have a
good sleep in that night.26/9 was a raining day. It was really pity that we could like take a photo of Neuschwanstein (new swan castle in chinese translation) from the Mary's Bridge as it was too misty. As you might see from the photos, the floor of Mary's Bridge was made of wood. I could feel it vibrating when people walked on it. Terrible!!!!
We visited the castle(Neuschwanstein) inside, which was not as great as Versillies as the King stayed here only for a short time and the history of this castle was short. No pictures allowed inside.
We tasted German Pig Leg (correct???
) and German beer in the hotel
nearby for lunch. The pig leg, to be frank, as the same comment as italian
chicken before, was like meal from soup. I enjoyed the bread and onion soup
more.
Leaving Germany, we travelled
ahead to Switzerland. After 2 hrs, we arrived a very little country called
Liechtenstein, which is managed by Switzerland now but still on a Constitutional
monarchy. It's famous of specially designed stamps. We just stayed half an hr
here and leave for Lucerne of Switzerland. It became the country that we spent
least time with in the whole trip.
It was night already when we arrived
Lucerne.
Hi Miss! I am planning to drive
from Fussen to Liechtenstein in Oct ,2013. Do you have any experience about this
and any caution I have to pay attentions? I am really happy to find this blog
and the blogger is still active
