Germany Trip: Part 2

Here is the 2nd part of our trip pictures:)This is supposedly where Hitler died from all the bombing. They never found the body. Don’t these look like tombs? BTW, Audrey, our bride from March, took this for us. We traded roles:P

Alice caught me looking out at the amazing scenery as we were going up the highest peak in Germany. Zuspitze is what it’s called. She complains that I don’t look at her enough:P

This bird was doing some really cool stunts in the air. I think it was begging for food.

Later on we found out it was illegal to feed the birds. We could’ve been fined $2000 Euro if caught!! Oh well…the bird was happy and I got my picture:)

Like my pose? Looks like an ad for some ski jacket, only I wasn’t wearing any. Alice is too good. She took this picture with a silly little point and shoot!!

It is so incredibly beautiful up there, I had to do a pano!

Ahhh…the New Swan Castle. Did you know Cinderalla Castle at Disney is inspired by this one? That’s what the tour guide said anyway. We only got to see the backside…which is under renovation. To see the front side, it takes 3 hours of hiking!!!

Since we didn’t get to see the front side in person, I took a shot of all the different posters done by some awesome photographers. What an amazing place…

Our cool looking hotel in Fussen.

Took this shot inside the bus on the highway in Switzerland. Almost no time to set up. Just picked up the camera and click! Looks like a painting!!!

Ancient city, Lucerne. The wooden bridge is 600 year old I think!!

That’s right…more legroom, more comfort. I was pretty much sleeping the whole time on the bus, which is unheard of!

That’s pretty high up there. We got a little altitude sickness…can you tell?

This is what’s left of the Heidelberg Castle. It was destroyed by Napoleon.

This is the largest beer barrel in the world. I know Alice is tiny, but this is ridiculous! What is it with beer and German people??

This has got to be the BEST road sign I have ever seen, HAHAAHA!!! So which way is the restroom???

They have some cool looking churches too. The entire city was flattened during WWII except this church. It survived the bombing because the soldiers purposely avoided it.

Haha…now you can have bratwurst ANYWHERE!

Chocolates!!

More chocolates!! Aisles and aisles of chocolates. There was so many choices, Alice didn’t know what to do!! She wants to take the entire store home!!!

The Wang Family!! The pretty young lady with long hair is Audrey, our bride from March. We have to thank Mr. Wang for convincing us to go on this tour with him. Originally we were very hesitant because May is a usually crazy month for us. We are so glad we were able to go!! We saw some really inspiring things and were well-rested at the same time. It was wonderful!!!

I jumped over the Alps!!! I didn’t put this one up at first, but Mr. Wang called earlier and asked me to put it up! He was impressed by the jump (blush):P
