Germany Snapshots
My camera died on me while in Germany. It started acting weird. So I didn't take many pictures. Here are a few shots.
The inspiration for Cinderella's castle in Disneyland. Bavaria's King Ludwig II's castle in Fussen named Neuschwanstein. Not too far away is also another lovely little castle of his named Linderhof which is surrounded by a beautiful garden.
And what do you know? I managed to catch a dragonboat festival in Hamburg! It took place in the Inner Alster. The Alster (consisting of the Inner and Outer Alster) is the main lake in Hamburg.
I was so pleased to be able to catch the festival. If only I could have taken part! Hamburg's a lovely city in northern Germany filled with lots of canals and waterways. It's Germany's Venice. From Hamburg, I also took a day-trip to Berlin which is 3 hours away by bus. And Berlin's definitely worth a visit too!
