day 2

Well day 2 started of on a much better note. As i had mentioned earlier the hostel where we parked our car and rested, allowed us to freshen up a bit. We then went for some nice cakes and coffee. A few of them had amazing sandwichs. But my aversion to bread kept me away from it. Even after 2.5 years in europe i still struggle to eat a slice of bread. I really dont know why :(.

Anyway after the breakfast we went for a short hike up the falls in Triberg. The falls over there is supposed to be the largest waterfalls in Germany. But it is not single large drop, but a cascade of continuous drops. It was a nice 1hr we spent there. Next was some shopping. We went to buy the cuckoo clock. This place is the origin of the cuckoo clock and they had some amazing collection of clock. We also got a few other souvenirs from the place.

Next we all went to have some authentic German meal. I must say the cheese pasta i had was very nice. It was extremely feeling as well. It was just some goat cheese which was made like noodles and oven backed. It does not sound great, but tasted very cool. This was served to us by a waitress who was dressed up in a very typical style for that region. The food which others had also i suppose were good ;).

Then we made a way to one of many "worlds largest cuckoo clock". I really dont know how many of the worlds largest can be there. But every street claims to have one. All I can say about this one is "it was interesting".



We then started driving towards Fussen. This was the place of our next over night stay. The drive started by taking us back into the town and then once the perimeter of the town had passed, we came upon some amazing landscape. To our luck, it was also snowing ever so lightly.



What we saw next I did not expect. We passed through a canopy of trees, and we came across a landscape which was white. The road was twisting and turning a bit. But some amazing driving by our driver kept us safe.



We stopped for a lot of photos in the place and it was extremely beautiful.

The next stop was lake Titisee. Nestled inbetween a few hills an amazingly relaxing place. This is where we had our coffee break and some amazing black forest. Mind you by this time we were still running late to reach Fussen. But lessons from the previous night were learnt and we called up the hostel saying we would be late. They gave us the codes to enter the building late in the eve and a few more instruction. All the details were noted as there was no way we were going to repeat the mistake.



After this it was a non-stop drive to Radolfzell. This was a place where a friend of one of our drivers stayed. He was a wonderful person. It was his thale deepavali, we we had got him a huge black forest cake. It was really big, but tasted twice as good as it was big. It was really silly of us not to take a photo of the cake, so sorry readers no photos of what i would describe as sluuuuuurp.

Then there was a driver change. Mr. Youth took over from Gym Boy. I was sitting on the back seat and there was serious argument about life and what it means to stay in a foreign country. In the mean time there was huge snow storm kind of a situation on the road. We oblivious to that fact were debating away in a loud and boisterous fashion. But Mr. Youth really drove amazingly well in teh condiotion. Given that it was his first snow drive my respect to him. We did get to fussen safe and sound. The hostel keepers were still there and we all hit the sac as we were really tried from the "no sleep i tell u no sleep" situation the previous night.

The next section would cover about the castle and drive back, with a stop over for some very good food in Stuttgart.
