In fact, we checked into our hotel in Fuseen before we went to see the castles. Fussen is also just 5km from the Austrian border, so it allows […]

Usually for road trips, I think i usually look for attractions that take just a little bit of time, especially when we have all our luggages in the car. It turned out, for this […]

www.flickr.com View as slideshow When we were planning for the trip, knowing that we would be going to Prague, I suggested going to Auschwitz in Poland, to visit the concentration camp there. But we didn’t feel comfortable enough to visit two countries in East Europe, so we dropped the idea. But we managed to include […]

www.flickr.com View as slideshow Vienna was a little disappointing to us, mostly because of the weather (it was pretty much wet the whole time we were there.) Maybe in the back of our mind, we wish to have some classical music soundtrack to accompany us in Vienna, but we didn’t even see any street performers […]
