Notes:

Germany left blank when and when must confirm that the door two things, one: whether he is to you at the second chapter: chapter on date see clearly.

We went to Germany, Switzerland and Austria in third countries, check it is Germany 2 entry 10 days, 5 days Switzerland single entry, but since we are doing train travel Switzerland, no Customs examination, the results didn't knock on exit chapter to chapter customs drawback. So when in Germany the exit of the Customs officers said we in Germany to have more than 10 days, do not give us exit chapter, but they do not remind you, if not we Lufthansa aircraft due to a fault required for machine, we occasionally see no exit, then go to their theory, otherwise our Visa credit is done, which can later. There was also a threat to us, or so on the plane, or of their Office to talk about, we say we have Switzerland hotel billing, invoice, there is a train ticket, and Zurich-Innsbruck credit card billing and credit card, then they would see us quite confidently without identification Annex gives us a chapter. Summing up the word "rotten to the core of Germany customs"!

Switzerland whilst ESV 10/1, but according to the Swiss Consulate requirements this year, or to separate visas.

If you bought in Switzerland need a tax rebate, what is doing the train departure, you have to ask, Switzerland's departure station is a station which, like Switzerland Customs is the platform edge, you need to get off to knock on to customs chapters, we do from Zurich to Innsbruck, the train is due to the train crew to mislead us customs officials will get knocked at the chapter, the results did not wait until they didn't knock on to chapter, finally returning to rebate only single and original invoices sent to Switzerland global refund Office, but they say not guarantee that it will return to, depressed. Dereliction of Switzerland customs.

If you need to Vienna airport tax refund, you must first get a boarding pass (self-service machine), and then go to the baggage check-in counters, check-in before you tell him you this piece of luggage is to refund, he will give you a good release tag attached to baggage back to you, then you'll get the Customs dedicated check-in counters, baggage from his private counter check-in to the plane, Customs will give you knock chapter, because it means that you buy the customs.

Unlike some countries as long as the buying things to look at the customs, he period can mobile is a must you shipping a piece of luggage or there are no you buy duty-free goods, can give you knock chapter. The most you you to Change point next to spend money. Super silly Austria customs.

Germany general Tourism information are not free maps, but you can ask the hotel pick up.

Germany, Switzerland and Austria's tap water is drinkable.

But on the train cannot drink the water, they will use X.

With the largest number of carry-on trolley case is the limit, because European transport by railway, some places have elevators, some places only the stairs, if you carry a big box Transit train is very inconvenient, especially if there are only 3-4 minutes of transit.

Remember, one of us is therefore suffered quite a lot as soon as.

9-24 Day 1

11: 40 Germany Lufthansa LH733 fly Frankfurt, before it is said that this has cancelled flights of historical bad records, but fortunately we didn't encounter.

9-25 Day 2 (Cologn Cologne, Frankfurt Frankfurt, Mainz Mainz)

Germany time 5: 45 arrival Frankfurt Airport (European time 6 hours later than China) where customs gate, many people, feel free to ask you a few questions after they put you on arrival, please check they gave you beat entry time chapter clearly, or immediately when they are in trouble (the preceding considerations already mentioned).

We go to DB in airport information center staff write personal information and on a first day using date stamps. Frankfurt airport has two railway lines, one is a long one is short, ask for remember asked LONG DISTANCE TRAIN STATION. We did 7: 28 minutes of ICE Express, at 8: 40 arrive at the first stop-Germany-Cologne.

Cologne Cathedral Cologn Dom is located at the gate of the central railway station (central railway station in Germany asserts to Bahnhof), solemn Interior appearance by calling it, there are many beautiful painted glass, then on European architecture became the heart of worship.

Recommended Cologne subway stations within a company selling Salted pork knuckle of shop (opposite the NORDSEE), quite delicious, Granny is very warm and store, our four-person to buy a pig elbow but she gave us two dishes.

If four girls a pork knuckle suffice.

A little more in the afternoon we set off from Cologn to Frankfurt, in order to save money to send luggage, we decided to get off at the Mainz put your luggage to the hotel (we booked Hotel Königshof is opposite the railway station, 3 minutes on foot), to continue after you finish your luggage to Frankfurt.

Frankfurt has no wish to be prosperous, Roman square and old town, Frankfurt Cathedral are also good.

Boat pier 10-minute walk from the train station, we decided to put luggage storage to the railway station, the station can unfortunately is too small a place without luggage, only to the train station just opposite the hotel, but the front desk Lady very friendly, though we don't stay but I still agree with our luggage there. Then we set foot on this is not in the planned trip.

Small town have style, stands in the Rhine River, very quiet, long and with a beautiful scenery.

Extension of shore surf, we chose a Sun, a garden restaurant, the majority of Germany is the hotel restaurant, because the locals rarely so many hotels are just four or five floors of the Villa. Four people each point a variety, as the failed to thoroughly research and understand their menu, so each time a different person point. Enjoy the cuisine and the beauty of the Rhine, very comfortable. The checkout time 40 euro, we also talk to you like almost all time to a 10% tip.

After a stroll around the town's shopping mall, since it is Friday and many shops are closed, early afternoon we block train from small town to Koblenz, then ride to Heidelberg.

We didn't see earlier a station, it reflects the pass benefits, and so on next to continue.

Arrive: 00 in the evening our hotel (Hotel Regina), hotel room in bigger than the Mainz 's, older restaurant probably only 5 table but the layout is very warm, very fond of. In this way the Europeans eat boiled eggs are specialized bays, the eggs on it with a ladle above crack, dial-up connection shell and then spoon with a spoon to eat directly. Each table has a similar big pots as plastic containers, is for you to throw rubbish.

Yesterday at the hotel taxi listen to drivers that today is Heidelberg Festival, asked him to celebrate something, he said nothing is everybody want to relax, compared to the Chinese people really understand Europe.

That morning we walked from the hotel to the Schloss Heidelberg site feet--a very prosperous commercial pedestrian street because it was their holiday, so there was some temporary structure of shops selling sausages, beer, clothing and gadgets, 3, 4 open-air concerts in the shed. We walk 15 minutes walk from the mountain to the Castle, adult tickets for 3 euro per person, in the main entrance have rented Chinese audio narration, you need a passport. The building is Gothic and BaroqueType and context of the three Renaissance style. See the big beer barrels, stiff-necked gate, pharmaceutical rooms come in here to visit the Fort is to follow in order to enter the professional tours. Walking down the street after a restaurant to eat lunch in, and then walk back to the hotel baggage, continue to train journey from Heidelberg to Baden-baden.

7 p.m.-arrival by everyone admire beautiful of Baden Baden, our hotel is located in the city centre location, in fact, from the railway station there are direct bus 201 road accessible, one-day ticket 6.8 Europe up to 5 people.

But we arrived and not know it or direct a taxi to the hotel (Hotel Deutscher Kaiser), spent 22 euro heartache, also consoled forget when I went to a trip to Pudong airport.

9-28 Day 5 (Baedn-baden Baden Baden)

Baden-baden is a fertile and beautiful small town, from small town living architecture to the crowd you can see that most of them are rich in this.

Originally, today is a day trip to Belfast International, but as we did in Mainz a bag accidentally landed on the train, and then interviewed the two genius tells us in Offenburg may have we want to find the package, so early in the morning I and remove ZJ go Offenburg. Here to commend quality of Germany comrades in shopping bag for three days and no one picks, more than 600 euro cash is also a lot of, but be careful as well.

At noon, and another two companions in the Centre of the square a restaurant dining, take advantage of the morning we went to take a package of time, the other two guys have a spa and a casino.

A total of two Spa, Kala is sure to wear a swimsuit, 13 2 hours euro a person, the other is a male and female nudity hunyu, 21 2 hours alone in Europe, where swimwear-your cheapest to 59 euro, so do not want to be sure remember luoyu comrades with swimwear. Because the other two companion didn't bring swimsuit, so I and Kala ZJ go experience, if you feel good and then put the swimsuit lend them, they then go to the Casino.

Since a few days ago, all the way around very tired, 2 hours of hot springs to relax the body a great help, especially inside the big power surfing single column flow very comfortable.

There are two open-air pool. Back passing by Atlantic Park Hotel's garden restaurant very nice, then decided to return to the hotel to freshen up a down here to enjoy the dinner.

The results row 4 people in a beautiful garden and enjoy a great dinner.

We have fish, steak, pork taste very good. Small talk in two other women were indeed could not, that their afternoon didn't go to the Casino, in order to save money directly to a swimsuit blended soup, admire, results in a crazy dinner laughter in the end. This is the Europe's most expensive, 4 people to a total of 110 euro tip.

9-29 Day 6 (morning at half past five trains depart from Baden-baden Baden Baden to Munich Munich)

Since we are in the morning at half past five in the train so we got up at 4 o'clock, a packed up early.

The hotel owner is very friendly, but also for us in the morning a breakfast, tea and hot coffee, really good.

From Baden-baden into Munich's ICE car which need to interchange 2 times to remind everyone must advance in DB Center in print better take the platform, because there might take only 5 minutes or less, so if you will get to see the signs on the platform will come in no hurry.

Morning 9: 30 we arrive on the Munich's central railway station, go to ask how to get to the hotel, the met two people, and we live in the same hotel Platzl Hotel (Superior), met in the first sentence is very excited to have asked me, "the Chinese people?", it is also a very long relationship that Mandarin, but show us the way is not very accurate, we only around a wound. Due to hit Munich Beer Festival, all the rates are going up all the hotel is a 4 star for a night of 220 euro, but fortunately we live in a day. But after arrival or think value for money, hotel layout is quite good, you can walk 5 minutes to Maria Plaza, room comfortable and modern, the door is made of magnetic cards, the other day is the key. Whole process only this hotel and Vienna Hotel slippers, toothpaste and toothbrush or not.

Clean up after we party came to Maria square Marienplatz, close to noon 11 points, we try to 11 points from the square bell tower in the new Town Hall clock performance on the wall, 85 m in the Town Hall clock tower on the whole of Germany's largest daily newspaper clock puppet 11, 12, 17 and 21 of the whole point of time, there will be a life-size 32 puppet historical drama the 1558, William 5 SE wedding scene.

Look forward to a long wall clock performance but actually quite disappointed, in fact, several puppets in the above with the music, the insurgents. Then we map guide, 5 minutes walk to the Notre Dame Cathedral (Frauenkirche), spent 3 euro one of the top, from downstairs to the top of the elevator will Halo to you can't, because it is a ring-type layers up and down around, but the same channel, "car" will be posted when backside, Oh the buttocks. Look at the top you can view the entire town, not too much meaning, it is recommended that you don't have to. The third stop we went to the Royal Palace and treasure Museum, originally wanted to joint visit to the Royal Theater, but staff said that light that a venue will have to spend 4 hours, you can only give up. Tickets can be changed free of charge at the door, but unfortunately the audio narration does not Chinese. Imperial treasure and open room relatively new Swan, for the purposes of counting the number of Fort, because in a hurry we hurriedly swept. Then follow the strategy we went to the Royal beer House HoFbrauhaus, where the famous yellow beer, white sausage and pork knuckle, former two tastes very good, just a little pork knuckle with poor, no Cologne subway station in Nice. Because Ning Offenburg Palace (Schloss Nymphenburg) of the blasphemous, from Munich city where also 45 minutes, but our meal has 3 points, so I finally gave up the spots, if really good when I leave some regret to yourself. Then we four are divided into two groups, ZJ and Linda shopping, I go to the supermarket and the WJY buy snacks. We at the supermarket to buy grapes, milk, sour milk, cocoa milk, biscuits, spent 20 euro, consoled in Shanghai time supermarket not three, four, we can still save.

Munich is the journey of the busiest cities in Germany, in the Centre of the shopping street on first-line brand name everywhere, just price with almost nothing worthwhile in Shanghai.

9-30 Day 7 (5 am Munich Munich-Füssen Fusen, 3 pm Füssen Fusen-Frankfurt Frankfurt)

5 am-train to Füssen, Platzl hotel service was very good, he gave us each a breakfast pods, two of the three ruling (very large), a bottle of fruit juice, an orange and a chocolate, very good.

The next time you go to Munich also live there.

Arrived at the terminus station of the former Füssen come up a lot of Germany pupils, cute, there is a guy wearing a chest embroidered in text "to complain about" coat, fun, it is estimated that his parents do not know the meaning of the words.

7: 42 finally to Füssen, send it to the station you finish luggage opposite block 73 78 or to Fort new Swan road, walk 200 meters to the ticket office, it is recommended that you do not buy a new Fort in the old Swan, because even the vote even vote no bargain, buy free point separately.

Our admission time is 9: 30, never out of date, or you want to spend money to buy a ticket, are very expensive. Up the Hill you can choose to walk, BUS or coach, we show package for a moment, a man spent 5 Europe made a wagon, and they also want to view, hard to do in the first row, behind only know pain. With the horses start running our painful moment also coming, didn't know it was so bad, but the way it also constantly fart, intermediate also NN once, collapsed, I couldn't breathe and WJY can only cling to each other, try not to breathe, is intolerable, direct finally painted oushudan rose guard hand cream, with only a little flavor to adhere to the top of the Hill, after unanimously passed won't block the cart.

As we mentioned in the travel, the new Swan Castle is very beautiful, Ludwig II's feelings, so you can only send emotion to architecture, but unfortunately not many open room.

Visit finished on the third floor Mall to buy souvenirs, Chinese waiter, attitude is very good, with 30 Euro you can refund, we bought a Swan round container, postcards, etc. On the second floor there are shops, but that small and cannot be refunded.

Raiders also said that Mary bridge can take a panoramic view of the Swan, Fort xingzhi representing go out from that point of view of the majority of the new Swan is fixing that disappointed me.

The bridge also charges with your photo.

Down the mountain after we decided not to Fort, on old Swan only in the following you can wait, and then go shopping ALPSEE Lake, at the foot of a home is also called Po Canaletto restaurant for lunch.

Would also like to Linden Hofburg (Schloss Linderhofburg), but from there the new Swan Castle drive need 45 minutes, again because of the time gave up, it is recommended that everyone in Füssen in two days, so you can take a good glimpse of this beautiful town.

3 pm more train to Frankfurt from fusen, because we want to go directly from Germany Switzerland of Interlaken, but look down there is no direct train from Füssen directly to Interlaken, or in transit, but also to Frankfurt in the morning at the train station just three hours, we don't feel safe.

So we choose to do so, then from the Frankfurt Frankfurt, 2: 20 minutes by train to Interlaken. Intermediate 5 hours we stay close to the central railway station walking 2 minutes to Frankfurt Hostel, 90-4 individuals.

First live youth hostel, bed sheets, pillowcases, Quilt covers all to yourself, good beds, also gave us a four room.
