To Geneva
I stayed in Koln for 3 days and moved to Pfalzgrafenweiler. This time, I took railway to move form Koln to Geneva.
In Europe, railroad is very convenient to move intercountries. I took ICE from Koln to Stuttgart. It was very comfortable in cabin and Max speed was 300Km, same as Japanese bullet train.
When I got on the train and took a picture in front of the train, driver unlock the door and let me in the moterman's cab. I have never experienced such a service and very surprised. I have not expected such a services because I understand that German follows to the regulation very strictly.Anyway I took several pictures and said "Wunderbar, Danle shon" to driver and left the cab.
Pfalzgrafenweiler is very rural area and on my way to village, there is a old castle where tea house is there.
I enjoyed nice tea and German cake which is not so sweet and nice taste.
After visiting Pfalzgrafenweiler, I moved to stuttlingen by train. Tuttlingen is a very small town and famous for the manufacturing of medical instruments. I visited two of them and see how the instrument are developed. Most of the process is handmade and still German technology system are there.
Next town I visited was Neuchatel in Switzland. This town is famous for manufacturing watch. I visited one of the gold manufacturing factories to watch how gold bar is manufacturing.
Stay one night in Neuchatel, I moved to Montreux. Montreux is famous for Montreux Jazz Festival and many visitor are there to enjoy Jazz festival in June every year. When I visited there Cherry blossoms are start to bloom. I enjoyed cheese fondue and nice white wine.
