Woke up at 0430 and took the tram at 0532. Because I didn't bring anythings for today, I went to buy 4 breads at the houbahnhof. They coated 2.7. It took around 2 hours to get to Fussen. We took the line73 to the castle. Today's tempearture was almost the same as yesterday's but today was very sunny and very little cloud in the blue sky. So happy! We walked to the Alpsee, which was a lake near the castle. On our way, we saw the old castle on a hill next to us. The lake was very magnificent. There was a path nearby leading to the old castle. The old castle quite old, not that special. We stayed there for 10mins and then left. On our way to the bus stop, there were lots of Asian people like Korean, Japanese and of course Chinese, who were even outnumber the western people. We took the bus to the new castle which was located on a higher mountain. Once we got off, we went to a footpath and arrived at the Mary bridge, where was famous for the best spot of looking at the castle and taking pictures of it. This was also where the photos of most postcards were taken. The view was extremely marvelous, esp under such sunny, cloudless weather. The bridges were full of people taking pictures, not to mention us. Sarah helped me take instant photos but the first shot was failed. The photo was all white. I strongly believed that I didn't take out the films out of my bag and so they were scanned by the X -ray. WTF!!!! Then, she took second shot and lucily it was much better but the color was quite dim and still quite white. And the third shot was worse than the second one. I had used 3films out of 7 but none of them were of quality. So, I must find a way to buy films here or asked somebody help me bring the films here. After, we went toward the new castle bur didn't enter it. We took some photos of the front view of the castle. We then walked downhill and took the bus back to Fussen hbf. Because the train had not yet arrived, we decided to have a little walk at nearby streets. We found a shop that sold a lot of Germany -handmade houses, which were very nice but sadly quite expensive. We then took the train at hbf. Because we bought very cheap tickets, we did a lot transfer. And unfortunately, we missed the second train at kaufbeuen as we were confused at the train direction. The train had 4 wagons and the first 2 headed to Lindau while the others headed to other location. So, 4 wagons were connected to each other but each of the 2 wagons would be divided at one station. This was the first time I experience that cars could be divided like that. And the next train arrived in two hours. We decided to walk around this kinda remote town, where was obviously not as well-developed as Mannheim. This town was very boring with very few tourist spots, only some churches. Finally, we were able to get through these boring 2hours and backed to Mannheim at 2200, which could be at 2000.
After these three days, I realize we need to pick good weather days to travel, or else we could not see the scenaries which was supposed to be very beautiful. In short, I like this 3-day trip and regrettably could not see the beautiful konigssee lake view. That's why i will come back to this place to fuifill my wishes. At last, I learn that when we transfer trains, just go to the right platform and check the arrival time of the coming train and take it. Just ignore the name of the final station or else you will be confused and missed train like we did.
Oh yeah!! Castle!!
