[Colmar Report] Day 5


as the title says, we went to colmar today! YAYS!! its the original colmar.. not the bukit tinggi whatsoever! meow=3 we left at 12 noon cuz my brothers woke up late.. thank god its only a 2 hours drive.. and as usual, the scenery is beautiful! no need to explain any further..

this picture on the right is taken at a petrol station, on the way to colmar.. unfortunately, Strasbourg is not on our list cuz we have limited time.. we can go there actually cuz its just a few kms ahead of colmar, but.. mama and papa is tired and all.. so.. you get the whole picture already. huhu! and Switzerland is only 66kms away from colmar.. damn!

iman drove to colmar all the way and he's excited as usual cuz colmar was the first place he was sent to for 2 years to learn language before being transfer to Metz for the real engineering study. so, he showed us around, the place he used to live, his language school etc.

<--- its the Court of Colmar.. one of the first things we saw when we arrived.. but, we toured the old town instead cuz that's the main deal in coming to colmar.. hehe! gosh! i love it soo much! the place is very classic and its actually the original building from a few centuries ago.. they purposely preserve it.

and there's a strong resemblance to the colmar in bukit tinggi.. obviously, cuz they copied the architectural and design.. and it was damn HOT here! i'll say it again.. i dun feel like i'm at the real colmar if it wasn't for the people and the souvenir shops..

so we wandered around and take pictures and the usual stuffs.. LOL! my mama bought some souvenirs, but i didn't buy anything.. actually, i haven't bought any souvenirs yet.. thanks to my papa who is always in a hurry.. to him, if we're here to sight-seeing, then do only that.. no shopping or whatsoever.. huhu! BORING! i just have to endure it since he's paying for everything..

ok.. back to the main story.. the pic on the right above is one of the few actual building, preserve from the 9th century or something.. its veerryy old and scary.. if seen up close..

on the left is Maison Pfister.. my bro said its where most of france's philosopher and intellectual from centuries ago was born.. and now, the bottom of the place has been turned into a wine shop.. but some of the tiles is actually the faces of those philosophers and their names.. most of them that i've never heard of.. hehe!

next, the pic on the right is my mama and papa at one of the many corners in the old town.. cute eyh~~

we finished touring the old town, then my papa drove the car back to Metz, and every one is tired and hungry and sleepy..

so, that concludes all for today.. we'll be going to Frankfurt, German or Luxembourg tomorrow.. which ever.. asalkan pegi.. LOL! i'm sleepy as hell! and wish to go to bed.. nite people!


'till next time
oyasumi~nasai!
