Day 7 - Lucerne (Mount Titlis)

Seeing that Mount Pilatus is so beautiful, we decided not to miss out on Mount Titlis =) packed our bags, checked out of hostel and dump them into the luggage deposit before heading to the mountain =) Though it's not the ski-ing season, the snow-capped mountain is spectacular.. but it's super cold and i didnt bring enough warm clothings! =)

this is not postcard pict..

beautiful aint it?

artistic shot?

wah..

playing with snow toys =)

Day 6 - Lucerne (Mount Pilatus)

If u are looking for a good honeymoon spot, switzerland's the place to go! it's really really nice! beautiful scenery, friendly people and safe environment! =) totally loved switzerland.. wish i had more time to travel around all the cities! =) day 6 turns out to be pretty fun and happening, with almost a full day spent at mount pilatus; it's not a snow-capped mountain so dun expect any snow! took a what claimed to be a steam engine from the main jetty to mount titlis, then changed into the world's highest/steepest(i think) corkwheel railway to reach the peak. view was really picturesque! then took gondola down to mid mountain and played tobogan(spelling) =) had bbq later at the hostel and played ping pong! =)

looks like harry potter castle?

Day 5 - Basel & Zurich

Day 5 started pretty early for us.. hafta catch an early plane at 7am from Berlin to Basel. Woke up late and rushed all the way from our hostel to the airport.. luckily we checked in 45mins before take off=) Basel gives me a different feeling compared to other swiss cities.. it's bordered by France and Germany.. maybe that explains why=) it's pretty much a small city, lotsa up slopes and down slopes, with beautiful ancient architecture.. the pace of life is pretty slow and relaxing.. ideal place for retirement?? haha

Day 4 - Berlin

Took plane from Copahagen to Berlin Schonefeld airport. EasyJet.. probably the best budget airline of my trip so far =) spacious leg space, with good pilot; taking off and landing was superb!! checked into our hostel, Meininger City Hostel; cheap and good! 10 Euros per nite! Went for free day tour of Berlin! should check out sandeman's new europe free tour if u are touring europe! it provides free tour in some major european cities and you realli get to see lotsa things around the city=) here goes the photos...

Brandenburg Gate.. beautiful and majestic =)

Holocaust memorial..

portion of Berlin wall =)

churches.. one's a protestant church, the other a catholic church.. both faces each other due to political and societal pressure or some sort.. both look rather similar though =)

Neue Wache - For 100 years the palace guards were based here, but now it is the German Memorial to the Victims of War and Tyranny

Museum island.. a very beautifully designed building.. by some famous sculptor.. hehe

Day 3 - Copahagen

Well.. day 1 and 2 had been spent mostly on the plane and slping, there's realli nothing much to say about them =) so took a train from Gothenburg to Copahagen.. didnt stay there for the night but toured around for a couple of hours. the weather wasnt on our side; there was easterly wind blowing with heavy rain pouring. Copahagen would have been a nice place (except being one of the most expensive places i had been to), but didnt really get to see much of what's beautiful.. AND i didnt get to see the mermaid on rock.. Boohoo!! bad weather!

this is kebab, the most common food across europe, and it happens to be the cheapest (in european sense).. doesn't really taste that fantastic and cost ard sgd 8-9.

beautiful port with shophouses

and a cute viking to end off my copahagen trip=)

Weiz's guide to backpacking
