My Germany trip

Sunday 27 July

Before my taxi arrived to send me to the airport for my trip to Germany at 9pm, I accompanied hubby to buy his Samsung Omnia from the M1 Shop, which took forever to process his purchase and blah blah... in the end, I had to zoom home to finish packing my luggage at 8pm!

My Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt departed before midnight. It was my first on LH flight and yeah, it's service pales in comparison with SQ.

Headsets, welcome drinks, papers/magazines were not offered (who cares even if it's business class). When I asked for English reads, only TIME or Forbes were available, EVERYTHING else is in German. So, sprechen Sie Deutsch? Nein! So I chose to sleep with ear plugs after washing up.

Monday 28 July

The 45-minute connecting flight from Frankfurt to Nuremberg was worse than Tiger Airways. The seats were small and narrow, service is near non-existent.

Our taxi arrived to pick us to our 13-century old Colmberg castle in Rothenberg, which is another 1 hour ride. The castle is old, nice... because it was a castle, I had to climb the stairs to my tiny room on the 3rd floor. There were old stuff around, animals, treasure chests, even some baby cots with life-like dolls in them, if you asked me, they were freaking me out. Yes, there were also 2 sets of armoured soldiers!!!






We had a medieval dinner in the castle one night and it was very interesting as in the olden days, they only used knife to eat, which we used just that... imagine having only knife for soup?



After a few days' meeting, we went to Rothenburg for a tour. It was a nice place with old architecture (13-15th centuries) and streets.












Friday 1 August

I bought some gummy bears and chocolates from Rothenburg during the tour and on 1 August, we had to take the ICE train (2.5 hours journey) from Nuremburg to Frankfurt as our domestic flight (45 minutes journey) was cancelled due to the strike at Lufthansa. Then onboard my flight from Frankfurt to Singapore, we were told that our meals would be restricted due to the strike, look how "yummy" my breakfast was. The only thing I could finish was the corn bar, the rest (except water) was revolting.


Saturday 2 August

Reached Singapore past 4pm. The moment I got home, I was greeted with warm hugs by my 2 angels. They were curious of what's inside my luggage and were happy they found gummy bears and chocolates.
