Driving to Munich. There were so many people attending the beer festival that the cars were lined up far outside the city. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu bravely drove into the city. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to find a parking space that had just been vacated.
Looking at the night view of the square and the crowds of people there, I suddenly felt like returning home.
Many foreign friends attended the festival in traditional costumes, dancing with joy and singing their traditional songs, which was very touching.
Yunluo and Yan Chenyu arrived too late as they had to drive to Austria in the evening, so they found a relatively quiet restaurant in the crowd and had a meal with some dark beer.
I just got a feel of the grandeur of the Oktoberfest. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next time to gulp down beer and eat meat!
The legendary beer pork knuckles and big-breasted girl, in fact, only the big-breasted girl was not seen, the men felt very sorry, but later they got what they wished for when they entered Switzerland.
The road was extremely difficult to drive at night. There were no street lights in Europe and high beams were not allowed. Fortunately, Cherry had rich driving experience. However, the fatigue along the way turned into surprise the moment Yunluo and Yan Chenyu saw the cabin. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu came here for the most beautiful town, Harztat.
There are more than 70 cabins in total, located in the town opposite to Har City Tate. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's cabin villa can actually accommodate six people. It should be that the four-person cabin was sold out, so they upgraded it for free. It has three bedrooms and one living room on two floors with a garden and kitchen in front and back, and a complete cooking system and heating system.
However, it was only 150 euros a day... This was more than luxurious. Beibei danced with joy in the hall of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu late at night. It seemed that her dream of owning a house had been half realized.
The view outside the window of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu, after the train passed. Breakfast in the garden, the air is extremely fresh. When Yan Chenyu went to check in, she changed into running shoes and ran around the wooden house community. She also met a family from Huaguo who were staying with their children. This place is a little remote, so people usually stay here if they drive by car.
On the third morning, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu got up and prepared breakfast. They took a good look at Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's home. It was very clean and simple, with all the necessary living utensils. It was really suitable for a family to spend 7 or 8 days here. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu really didn't have enough time. <, the waiter had a good attitude. She should be the one who accepted Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's reservation. She asked Yunluo and Yan Chenyu if they arrived very late last night. Because they had to work late, they told them in advance when they made the reservation. They said it was no problem, but after 6 pm, it was all self-service, and the room key was left on the table.
The door was left open, so Yunluo and Yan Chenyu could come back to register in the morning. It was really a good service. Yan Chenyu told her that she loved this place, and she smiled so happily, and then told Yan Chenyu that many Chinese teams also stayed here.
In addition, the wooden house is cheap but towels need to be paid for separately. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu try their best to restore the items to their original condition when they leave. They love this place so they enjoy it in a civilized way.
After returning from Hallstatt in the afternoon, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu went to the swimming pool next to the front desk and played for two hours. They met two boys. They didn't speak English, but. Communication has no boundaries. Cherry played crazy with the children. Outside the swimming pool, there are green grasslands, green mountains and clear water. The water temperature is very warm, which is very comfortable in the slightly cool autumn.
It was Sunday, and I found out that supermarkets in Austria are closed on Sundays. I had to cook with the ingredients I had. The small supermarket at the front desk had eggs. Yan Chenyu drove home in her bikini and carried a few eggs. The scene was so funny. The two handsome guys are really talented, and there was also the skillful Beibei who arranged the dishes and made tea.
This meal was really satisfying. This experience was probably one of the most shining memories of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's entire trip to Europe.
Now let's talk about the Austrian town of Hallstatt, which is located on the shore of Lake Hallstatt. The "hall" in Hallstatt may come from the ancient Celtic word for "salt", and is named after the salt mines near the village. Historically, this area has become rich because of salt.
Therefore, this place is also called "the most beautiful town in the world" or "the oldest salt capital in the world". Yingtao and Beibei bought a lot of salt, saying that this is rock salt, rich in minerals. They used some in cooking at night, which is slightly lighter than sea salt.
I have to mention that there is a restaurant on the lakeside not far from the entrance of Halter. You don’t need to ask the name, it is definitely easy to find. It only takes half an hour to walk through the whole town.
The food was affordable and delicious. It was recognized as the best meal of the trip. The most important thing is that the scenery is priceless. The total cost was 78 euros, and pork, beef and venison were all available.
On the fourth day, we drove to Fussen to see the Neuschwanstein Castle in Yan Chenyu's heart. As mentioned in the previous article, I learned the German for Neuschwanstein Castle for the visa, and I have never forgotten it. Maodou's praise for Neuschwanstein Castle made Yan Chenyu think about it for many years, and finally came. On the way, there were beautiful scenery one after another, the special scenery of the Black Forest area in Bavaria. Although it was foggy, it was still exciting.
Drive to Neuschwanstein Castle and stop at Fussen. The scenery along the way is fascinating. This place, like a fairyland on earth, hides ancient folk legends about magic, kings, and knights, as well as the boundless primitive forests, tender hillsides, herds of cattle and sheep walking on the boundless green fields, the Alps covered with snow all year round, and the endless and wide lake. This is the country that the king loves most.
The castle was one of the residences of Ludwig II of Bavaria. It has 360 rooms, of which only 14 were completed as designed, while the other 346 rooms were not completed due to the king's death in 1886. It is the most photographed building in Germany and one of the most popular tourist attractions.
Neuschwanstein Castle is the symbol of Germany. No country in the world has as many castles as Germany. It is said that there are still 14,000 castles. This is the main line of the Romantic Road mentioned by Yan Chenyu before, which is dominated by castles. Among the many castles, this is the most famous one!
Neuschwanstein Castle is the dream world of King Ludwig II, a world of exclusive beauty. He lived a lonely life, facing political conspiracies and personal attacks. Inside this magnificent castle, besides seeing the ubiquitous concept of swans, you can also hear the king's mumbling, his sense of justice, his love, his despair, and his tragedy.
The castle has a special Chinese tour guide, but you have to make an appointment when you buy the ticket. Yan Chenyu thought that there were too many Chinese groups, so they made the rule. After waiting outside for a while, the air in the mountain was already very cold. The introduction of the tour guide was very detailed. The scenes I saw were extremely luxurious, and it was easy to travel back to that era.
At night, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu entered Switzerland and stayed at the cheap hotel ibis. They chose it because it was convenient to park. ibis has its own parking lot, and they made some jokes in the parking lot.
Because of fatigue, the girls went upstairs to rest together, and the two boys went to find a parking space. They couldn't find the entrance, so they got out of the car and pushed open the concrete block. Then they parked the car and took it back to the owner... I didn't dare to come back and tell them, but the next day I suddenly remembered that I was laughing so hard in the car, should I do this?
The hotel is actually quite big and clean.
The Chinese stomach has been protesting because of the foreign food these days. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu brought a small electric cooker with them when they went abroad in case of emergency. Yingtao is really a genius. She used the instant rice, soup, meat and shrimp that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu bought at the supermarket to make salty porridge, which tasted really good. In the subsequent journey, they made plain noodles, instant noodles, etc.
Anyway, it greatly alleviated the discomfort of eating. Moreover, the price of goods in Switzerland is very high, so this also greatly reduced the cost of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu. It is worth promoting! In any hotel, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu must take out the raw food garbage and throw it away on the same day, and do a good job of sanitation. They also don't want them to frown at the Chinese behind their backs.
On the fifth day, Yunluo and Yanchenyu officially started their journey to Switzerland. It was foggy. I was very frustrated. I was afraid that Switzerland would pass by in a hazy way. Fortunately, God was kind to us in the next few days~!
Yan Chenyu prepared breakfast for Yan Chenyu and Maodou. Because the boys were tired from driving, he would go to sleep every day after returning home, while Yan Chenyu would sleep whenever she could in the car, so basically, Yan Chenyu was responsible for everything related to daily life and tidying up. Division of labor and cooperation was a must when traveling.
It rained early in the morning that day, so we went to Weggis in the fog. It is very close to Luzern, but compared with Luzern, it is a more delicate lakeside town.
The red-roofed church, the lake and the mountain opposite were not visible due to the heavy fog. The weather was really not good, the picture should have been more beautiful.
Back in Luzern, it actually cleared up in the afternoon. I have to brag about Cherry here. This god-like man, the sun will come out when he says it will. If he is well, it will be sunny. This made Yunluo and Yan Chenyu a little silly. Every time they went to a place, they asked the sun when it would give them a chance. He was showing off very much! !
When withdrawing money, Switzerland uses Swiss francs instead of euros. Then Yingtao put the withdrawal slip in the car and lied to Yunluo and Yan Chenyu that it was a parking fine. How could she be so naughty?
When we were in Luzern, the sun came out. It was indeed a beautiful city, but it was crowded. Because of its fame, all the teams gathered here. Apart from the beer festival, this was the place where Yunluo and Yan Chenyu saw the most people. After that, they often encountered the scene of entering an empty city.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The architectural style here really reminds people of Shanghai, but without those high-rise buildings, each one is full of the deep flavor of history. Medieval churches and towers, Renaissance palaces and mansions, as well as century-old shops and long streets and alleys are everywhere. Beautiful scenery along the way. There are so many sailboats, it would be better if they were sailing.
The famous lion sculpture is a must-see for all groups. The dying Lucerne Lion.
It is one of the most famous statues in the world. It was carved on natural rock by a Danish sculptor in 1821. This lion, which is 10 meters long and more than 3 meters high, fell to the ground in pain, with a broken spear stuck in its shoulder, and a shield with the Swiss national emblem next to it. This statue is to commemorate.
To protect the safety of Louis XVI's family in the Tuileries Palace in Paris, all 786 Swiss mercenaries died in battle. There is a text below the statue describing the incident. At that time, Switzerland was a poor and backward country. Men were forced to make a living and went to various European countries to serve as mercenaries.
Swiss mercenaries were loyal to their employers and were brave and skilled in fighting, but honor and money could not cover up the cruelty of the mercenary system. After this incident, Switzerland stopped exporting mercenaries. Later, American writer Mark Twain came to Lucerne and praised the "Dying Lion of Lucerne" as "the most tragic and touching statue in the world."
Maodou tried to act as a tour guide to explain to Yunluo and Yan Chenyu, but he recited Louis XVI as Louis XIV, and was corrected by a treasure island tour guide next to him. Haha, then he chatted with Yunluo and Yan Chenyu for a while. Going up the mountain, we came to an upscale community with schools and residential buildings. I liked it very much and stayed there for a long time.
Self-guided tours also have a shortcoming, which is that you often can't figure out where the place is, its history and culture, etc. Apart from some homework before departure, for a place like this that you walk into casually, you should only appreciate its beauty and imagine the life there.
Today's journey was ridiculously easy. They drove at a constant speed on the road and started crawling like a snail. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's goal was to waste every minute and every second on the road.
The beautiful scenery along the way was definitely worth Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's effort. Any stop was a kind of romance.
This photo has a story behind it. Normally, Yan Chenyu would not pose in such a pretentious pose! However, Maodou saw the spire church in the back and insisted that Yan Chenyu pose in this pose because
Many years ago, when Maodou was pursuing Yan Chenyu, he saw a photo on her social media that was casually taken at West Lake. There was also a building with a pointed roof. He asked Yan Chenyu where it was, and Yan Chenyu lied to him that it was in Europe. The silly boy actually believed it.
He probably felt that he would be a fool if he didn't take revenge, so he took Yan Chenyu on a trip to Europe and made her pose in the same way to atone for the years of being deceived.
Inside the church. Every town has its own church. Although the sizes vary greatly, they are all very clean and solemnly decorated. The few minutes spent in each church will make you feel that God is with you, and your heart will be peaceful and humble. People with faith are happy.
Beibei saw a vehicle selling roasted chicken running wildly. I bought roasted chicken twice, once here and once in the supermarket, and ate it with a big can of ice cream.
It was close to noon when Yunluo and Yan Chenyu drove up a mountain and looked down at the green slopes, cattle and sheep, and the church in the town while eating ham, milk and bread. Driving by yourself really took advantage of the fact that there was no one except for the occasional passing vehicles.
Cherry has already adapted to the traffic rules, and has also learned to exchange gestures with foreign drivers when crossing, and she has done it to the fullest, as if she is a Swiss with a yellow face. (To be continued...)
