Schloss Lichtenstein - 31st May 2008

while i'm blogging now, it's raining cats and dogs outside:

Photobucket

Germany's weather is so unpredictable. one moment it's sunny (abt 30 degrees), and suddenly poof! it gets dark and rain comes down in buckets. haha

oh yeah i'm supposed to blog about last weekend's trip to the castle!! finally i'm catching up on my blog posts. =D

Photobucket
germans love their fussball (football) and country too!

Photobucket
beautiful scenery along the way in our bus ride

Photobucket
i'll never get sick of looking at vast green landscapes

Photobucket

entrance to the castle

and this is the castle. abeit small but it's wonderous inside. they have really pretty drawings on every wall and it's really palace-like. there's some interesting quotes too like: serve a hundred women but die for only one - in french. haha! too bad phototaking is not allowed inside

Photobucket
i will never get sick of bird's eye views

Photobucket
bridge

Photobucket
=D

Photobucket
man, this is really one of the most memorable photos

Photobucket
ww & me & calvin! he's from nus on a similar programme as us

Photobucket
i'm a shortie

Discovered something interesting on our way out...

PORSCHE "showroom" outside the castle. i think the porsche people thought that it's the perfect location to showcase their cars and also to let the super rich people feel like they live in the castle - great atmosphere actually. makes you wanna buy the car on the spot. wahaha! we had a field day snapping photos though =D

all hail porsche(s)!

Photobucket
it's a tough decision to choose either this or the mercedes car as my dream car

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
lighting's not good in there, so my flash kinda spoils the photos

Photobucket

Photobucket
this cave's been here for a few centuries i think. cos our tour guide told us the columns of stuff grow 1cm cube every 60-80 years. and look at the size of these

Photobucket

Photobucket
exit! it was freezing in there, about 9degrees and my toes totally froze over cos i wore slippers -_-

Photobucket

Photobucket
way up

Photobucket
and because of the rain, our bob sledging plans kena cancelled and we came back to town earlier than expected, so the whole lot of us decided to pop over to alicia's, wenting's and meiqi's house! =D
