Europe in 15 words (Part 4)

By the time we arrived in Munich, we were more than half way through our trip and I remember still feeling butterflies about the new places I was heading too but also experiencing much frustrations because of the language barriers - not that the locals did not understand what we were saying/asking, but more of the fact that I couldn't fully apprehend what everyone else were saying to their friends or family LOL is this what they meant when a person has a need for information. oh wells, let's begin.

10. Fun & more fun

From the various visits to Heineken, Bayern Munich's stadium, Amsterdam Zoo and finally the much awaited Paris Disneyland, the trip was filled with lotsa fun and laughter as we tried every facility like how a typical tourist would.

Boiling in the Heineken Brew

Amazing view from the top of the Heineken tower - all these while enjoying fresh Heineken brew and Bratwurst!

Capturing this adorable primate at the Amsterdam Zoo


Cinderella's castle in full view


Parades at Disneyland is a must-have. This time, with lotsa French songs.


Some Shisha action

 

Poor kids who couldn't afford the print, take digital pictures of them instead :)


Ending Disneyland with the usual fireworks and light display!


A tour of Montmartre brought us to...


Moulin Rouge


Couldn't leave Moulin Rouge without some Cabernet moves


Carousell on-the-go in-the-streets


And even though we are passed the food section of the blog review, I can't help but insert this picture of the very, yummy, crepe we got in Montmartre wow omg

11. Witbier

I don't particularly fancy beer before heading to Europe since beer had a rather bitter aftertaste that doesn't gel well with my millennial tastebuds that can't take hardship lol. Hence, when I discovered witbier, although many say witbier has much more calories, the aftertaste of wheat is so fragrant I felt like I found a new love.


Witbier at the best biergarten in our opinion - Augustine-Keller

Some tourist witbier at HofBrauHaus


Some Rye bread to go with beer at a random dinner place in Munich (Hacker-Pschor?)


Besides the bier, the food that went along with Witbier were stunners as well. This dish we savoured in Salzburg was A-mae-zing - Handmade meat sausages with mash potatoes and a side of onion sauce. The blend of savoury, fragrant meat with the crispy potato and the tangy onion - amazing burst of flavours in your mouth! Spotted in the background, the trademark German Schnitzel and Saurkraut.



12. Sports
Europe is undeniably the home to one of the most viewed sports in the world - Soccer. Since we travelled during winter, there were no games scheduled (or players would freeze to death). Nevertheless, we (or just JJ persuading me to do so) still made it a point to visit one of the stadiums in Munich to do a stadium walking tour.

I regard snowangelling as a sport too


Visiting the Dachau concentration camp is not for the weak and that was some exercise for my heart right there. Above is the view of the prisoners before they entered the bath chamber - famously known to be a disguise for gas chambers that were used to exterminate a great amount of Jews in Auschwitz.


And finally, climbing up the slippery slopes leading up to the Salzburg fortress was the most tiring (&dangerous) exercise we did for the trip. Dayum those slipper slopes because of the slope, we were falling back a step every 2 steps we took. Thankfully, we were rewarded with the view of Salzburg in the freezing cold.
