Goodbye Zugspitze

How time flies when when we are having fun. It was time to depart Zugspitze. I will always remember the awesome scenery in mind. It did not feel cold at all, perhaps we were dressed appropriately for the occasion.Final view of the Zugspitze.

 Goodbye Zugspitze

 We were at the souvenir shop

The descent from Zugspitze was via train - a slow process whereby we could not see any scenery as it was underground.

Our next stop was lunch whereby our guide dropped us at the vicinity of our hotel.

Suan Thai

Thai Salad

On 24 June, the travel kakis -Jeff, Ailing, Eunice,Cheryl, Gina & I met at Suan Thai for dinner. It was great meeting all of them - lots of travel stories to catch up on, especially on Eunice experience in Paris and Switzerland.

SuanThai, located at 101 Killiney Road, is a small cosy place. They have a buffet priced at $20.90++. Yet with all the add on like drinks at $3.50++ for calamasi and towels, each adult paid $30. The food was good, the spread was limited. I could not stand the fast pace serving, it was like we have to rush our food.

3rd Level of Zugspitze

We proceeded to the 3rd level of Zugspitze. It's such an amazing view. From Germany's highest outlook, this one-of-a kind 360 degree panorama offers an overwhelming view across the international mountain world. The view is truly infinite. Open views in every direction almost 3,000 meters (9,843 feet) above sea level. The seemingly endless chains of snow-powdered peaks jut up into the sky like mighty stone saw blades.

The unmatched 360° panorama, I certainly was overwhelmed by the phenomenal visibility: In ideal weather conditions, one can see more than 400 peaks in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy at a distance of up to 250 kilometers (155 miles), all at once.

Here we are in Germany's highest church " Maria Heimsuchung". Blessed by today's Pope Benedict XVI, this close to heaven chapel invites you to a moment of reflection in the midst of the high-alpine mountain world.
