After another long long drive, we finally arrived at Black Forest (The place where the Black forest cake was invented) We shopped for a while and waited for our pork knuckle lunch.

While waiting for lunch, we found a snowing spot near the restaurant (right outside actually) and went out in our thin thin clothes cause we took off our jackets when we entered the restaurant

We had the traditional German knuckle and sausages for lunch, the portion was huge and it tasted really nice. There was rice and fries (very nice fries) and loads of FOOD. The desert was the famous BLACK FOREST CAKE !!!! (my favourite as you can see from my excitement) We also had the special apple sparkling juice.

After lunch, we went out for more fun in the snow. One of our tour member actually built a snowman. It was really cool and we took many pictures as well. (had a little snowball fight with my dad, throwing snow at him hehe)

Snowman!

 After that, we went inside for a cuckoo clock demo session. The guy was really funny and explained a lot about the history and the mechanism behind the cute clock.

Finally after the long long shopping session, we  gathered at the bus and headed off to our second destination for the day, Colmar (Eastern France) 

Colmar had really nice architectural and all but... the toilets *Shakes head*

Public toilets ?!

There were many people walking their dogs on the streets as we strolled along. We went to a Christmas market and had some chocolate waffles. Compared to Singapore's waffles (those from bakeries that I've eaten at), the waffles there was just AWESOME! The owner was very kind and gave us a lot of chocolate and it tasted really nice.

"没有眼看"

"Oh boy!"

After spending a short while walking around the Christmas market, we had to gather to head back to Switzerland for our own dinner.

We went back to out hotel room, had a little rest and went down for dinner. My dad decided on a MacDonald's dinner since we were all too tired and lazy to go out for better food. I have say that food in Europe is really expensive, we had 3 meals (one each with one upsize) and it costs us 35 Francs (about S$50) They even charged up 20 cents for ketchup sauce (WTF?!)

Day 7 was really a fun day because there was snow in Germany. I managed to make the sequel to my "chicken炖冬菇" series which started in Korea way back in 2009. Though our main purpose to visit Germany was to look at the lake but it seemed like the main purpose of our tour there shifted to shopping. We were given WAY WAY WAY tooooooo much time to shop in that ONE shop and the rest of the time was just squeezed out and answered with an excuse of "no time". I guess at least there was snow and it really didn't really feel that bad. If there weren't snow I guess everyone would make noise since the selling point was the lake and NOT the shopping.
