Rather, the main aim of going into Strasbourg was to visit some French pâtisseries and get our filthy hands on some Eclairs. For some weird reason, I had this severe craving for a Chocolate Eclair (having already sated the ones for Fish and Duck) and I had ranted on and on about how I was going to eat all the Eclairs in Strasbourg.
... and lusting for chocolates and pastries and cakes and etc etc...
... and at the end of the day, the craving for Eclairs was satisfied. And the mission to consume EVERY single Chocolate Eclair in Strasbourg was complete. There was literally no more Chocolate Eclairs left in Strasbourg after we departed.
Today, (technically yesterday because its past 12 midnight) we headed out to Rothenburg, apparently one of the best preserved medieval towns in Germany. The old city center even had its city walls still intact!
But more exciting is the specialty of Rothenburg, Schneeballen! Literally Snow Ball! It was basically a huge ball shaped biscuit covered in various types of Chocolate.
Look at Jiahui so SHOCKED to see the numerous flavours to choose from...
... followed by the look of absolute indecision of which one to choose. She was actually making whining noises at this point because she couldn't decide which one to get.
We finally picked our Flavours. (Mine)
(Jiahui's)
Alas, too bad the Schneeballen actually didn't taste very good. If you're wondering what is up with the pose. Its my "瘦瘦脸" pose. I do it whenever I'm going to eat something fattening.
We continued exploring the town. The town was old but beautiful. Having both the charm of an old German town as well as the rustic feeling of a medieval town. It was as if Heidelberg and Toledo had a baby and it became Rothenburg. (This would make more sense if I had actually blogged about Spain).
I was pretty tired at the end of the day. Traveling 4 hours to get to some place just to hang out there for about 4 hours before having to travel another 4 hours home is not exactly very fun. All in all, it was still a pretty nice weekend.
