Around 6pm, we finally reached Feldkirch at the Austria border, after crossing Liechtenstein – the smallest German speaking country in the world. We had planned to stay a night at Feldkirch to save a day of our Eurail Pass, since it was already late evening when we arrived Austria, and headed to Innsbruck the next…

Innsbruck with the enchanting Alps
Early in the morning, we left for Innsbruck, a capital city of Tyrol in Western Austria, and an internationally renowned winter sports centre that hosted the Winter Olympic twice. This is one of my favourite photos with the alps in the background. Risking our lives while standing on the tram track just to take a…
The pretty Alpine resort in Schladming
We had booked a resort called The Alpine Club for a 7-day stay in Schladming, a small mining town in Styria. This was not the first choice resort that we wanted, but to book a timeshare resort, especially a popular one, it might need at least six months of advance booking (that’s why I terminated…
Biking in the Austrian Alps
A rest and relax day for us, after days of rushing for trains and tight schedules. We rented bicycles and bought groceries at the town which is about 1.5km away from the resort located on the mountain. Getting to the town was further than it seemed to be as we had to walk along a…
Salzburg Tour
We woke up early in the morning freezing due the cold mountain air that had crept in through the windows that we had left ajar for ventilation, we thought. Shut the windows tightly and went back to sleep. The next morning, I found yellowish powder scattered all over our clothes that we hung out to…
World’s Largest Ice Caves, Werfen
We embarked on an exciting journey to the world largest limestone ice caves located in Werfen – The Eisriesenwelt (German: “World of the Ice Giants”). We met two friendly English old couple from Yorkshire. They were leaving the resort and they offered us to get into their cab to the train station. It was snowing…
Hallstatt, the UNESCO World Heritage Site
GOSH! We missed the train to Hallstatt and wasted almost half day! The trains changed their arrival platform but the train schedule on the notice board was not updated! We blindly waited from 12plus to 2plus for two hours. Then we realised something was wrong when no one was left waiting at the station. In…
Overwhelmed by the Bayern Munich Fans; it’s their day!
Leaving Austria. Going to Salzburg to change train to Munich. We were going to stay with a friend in Munich. After a few hours of train ride, we finally arrived in Munich, Germany. We were overwhelmed by big groups of Bayern Munich fans cheering about at the station and all over the place. It was…
The Englischer Garten in Munich
Thought I would see nudes sunbathing in Englischer Garten (English Garden)! But forgotten that it was cold and no warm sun. Who wants to strip down with the chilly wind?! Englischer Garten is one of the world’s largest urban public parks, even bigger than Central Park in New York. It is not so much a…
The Deutsches Museum in Munich
The Deutsches Museum is so big, with at least six storeys to cover the whole museum! No wonder it’s the world’s largest museum of technology and science, possessing over 100,000 objects from the fields of science and technology. We went up to the roof top of the museum and enjoyed the breathtaking view of the…
