Honeymoon!
Finally got down to blog about the wonderful trip :) Had real fun and a wounderful time sightseeing, hiking, discovering and travelling with my Dear Wife :) Really enjoyed it and felt fully refreshed to start work again. Also got cold turkey from games. Hopefully won't start and get hooked on them again... Hopefully...
We touched down at Zurich and we subsequently drove to Fussen and went on to Schwangau to look at the castles there (Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein) Renting a car from Zurich was easy, got a Citreon C4 complete with GPS and steering wheel..... on the left..

Digital Speedometer, GPS on the windscreen, left hand drive and of course... the 美女
Driving around was certainly much easier with the GPS. First time using it and boy it's so intelligent. It gives specific instructions like "At the next roundabout, take the 2nd exit". "After 200 yards, turn left". If you go way off, it will program another route to take you back right on course, although sometimes, it will get lazy and say "turn back when possible".
Left hand drive was a little challenging at first, and it took us a couple of times to get used to going in the correct door. Fortunately, driving around the highway and country roads was easy with less cars and less turns. Car was also smooth and vibration was so well damped i didn't even know i stalled the engine when i did... many times (shows my skill eh). Makes me want to buy a citreon... The autobahn felt like any expressway, though it keeps reminding me of Einstein's theory of relativity. In Singapore, the trucks go 70kmh, normal cars go 90-100, the speedsters go 100-120. In Germany, the trucks go 90-100, normal cars like mine go 130-150, the speedsters go 200kmh at least. So you'll feel stationary at 70, like a snail at 90, like human at 130 and a devil at 200... (though i didn't go that fast). But what websites advised were true: the Porsche you see in a distance in your rearview mirror will appear beside you in seconds..
We arrived at our hotel near the castles (fortunately with car and us still intact without a scratch) and set out for our castle tour. We visited the Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein. Unfortunately, no phototaking was allowed in the castle (though we found out when we were in italy that it was easy to snap shots unnoticed..) The Hohenschwangau was where King Ludwig (known for his extravagance for building castles) lived when he was young. So since the Hohenschwanau is actually his 'lao beh's', it felt just like a rich residence with castle walls. Nevertheless, it served as good appetizer for the castle tour. We visited the Neuschwanstein (build by King Ludwig) next.. But guess i'll talk about it next time.. Need to koon liao..
