Lost in Wiesbaden

Here it goes. We decided on saturday that we will check out Wiesbaden on Sunday and we did! So me, Xue Chen, Alan, Brandon, Vivi and Lily met up at our flat entrance and take a 5 mins walk to the bus stop to catch a bus to Wiesbaden. The public transport system here is PERFECT. The bus and train arrive on time. I actually wonder how bus can arrive on time because we have people going up and down the bus, people asking questions to the driver holding him from moving and red lights etc. Despite all these, the bus is perfectly punctual. Late for 30seconds? Wait for the next one.

The journey to Wiesbaden is like 40minutes and we got off at Wiesbaden Haupbahnof, which is Wiesbaden train station. We went in the station and check it out and exit from the side door. There's where we started to make ourselves lost in Wiesbaden!

tour train in sight

Keep walking (sounds like johnny walker ain't it)

On the way to the 1st cathedral

We walk westwards and it started to rain~ It's ok, we found a big church where we can go in and visit. In fact, it's a cathedral.

I thought this is already beautiful, there more later!

magnificent

magnificent, ain't it

After the church, some of them got hungry and we need to find something to eat. However, it's a sunday and all the shops are closed! Including shopping malls. Only some convenience stores (like 7-11 kind of stores) are open. Unlimited walking and stop by to ask people around. We are lucky to have Alan coz he speaks some german. Bravo Alan! So, on our way back to Haupbahnof to get food (shops are open there!), we saw another cathedral. I shall get the names...

This is in Luisenplatz, with Waterloo Obelisk and St Boniface Church

That monument in front was built in 1865. woohoo

And continue our way to Haupbahnof, and have our lunch.

suck the awful spaghetti 

Since it was early, we decided to go and look for MarktPlazt (market plaza) where I guess there will be more people and maybe a market there... And we were lucky! The Wiesbaden Wine Week was held there! AHAHA I'm so overwhelmed! There's a big cathedral in the MarktPlazt and it was surrounded by all the wine stalls. yea! I saw schloss vollrads recommended by bro!

markt plazt church is just ahead!

so grand

see upstairs it's for the surround sound

outside

nice flowers at the markt plazt

the best schloss vollrads

the best wine, the glass of wine is for 2euro

this one is 2.5euro, and if you want the glass, it's just 2euro. But I didn't buy it

On our way back in train

And the best thing, I got a bottle of schloss vollrads riesling for my own XD I'm a happy girl!
Speaking of that, I got the urge to open it now wakaka.

1 thing, I did not purposely join asian friends back but we didn't really see anyone when we were out. Maybe we are early, but shops here close at 5pm, so I don't want to miss anything. Auf Wiederschen
