Freiburg | Muenchen

Today we toured the city of Freiburg. I went to the Musikhochschule there, haha. But still (my personal opinion please) nothing beats Muenchen's.

We returned to the Schwabentor (some historical city gate) by the Strassenbahn and alighted at Oberlinden. We walked the area by instinct and ended up at the foot of Schloss Berg, lol. When there's a hill or anything climbable, I gave in to my weakness. Kikiki~~ Up we goe~~ and reached Ludwigs Hoehe. The view was fantastic!

Schwabentor

Freiburg's drainage system - really impresses me, and the water's so clean!

Way to Schloss Berg

There's something about the buildings in Freiburg that I really like

Schloss Berg lies pass the gate... of some kind...

Going downhill, we reached Stadtgarten and later, Karlstag, which is a windy pedestrian bridge built over a road function. I think it's a unique idea.

Destination Muensterplatz. And the Muenster of course. There was a busy marketplace in front of the Muenster. I believe it was because today was a Friday. Found the cylindrical packing I wanted - all the way at Freiburg... Kyaaa~~

And at the cafe Max we experienced the Germans' pastime - Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and cake). Parents ordered a Torte, and me? I was just fulfilling a dream - BLACKFOREST CAKE!!!! The authentic one, woohoo~~ The cherries are more sour, but ooooh there's really brandy (or some sort of liquor) in the cake. YEESH! That should be how the Blackforest cake should be! Lalala~~~

Blackforest cake! I overindulged and oops... too late for the cam! XP

Torte and Latte Macchiato = Kaffe und Kuchen Time!

A stroll towards the Hauptbahnhof - we went passed the Alte Universitaet, then the current Universitaet, Stadtheater and the university library. Freiburg is dominated by its university; that's why the city is labelled "university-city".

At 17.40 Uhr we board the train to Neustadt... T___T Farewell Black Forest!! And crazy train transfers again:

18.35 Uhr - Ulm
22.17 Uhr - Ausburg
23.45 Uhr - Muenchen

And checked into another hotel. Think everyone slept after 2am this night. Geez.
