After an 8 hour overnight journey,you reach this place called Garmisch.Temperatures are in single digits.And its so freezing cold that you cannot even get your hands out of your jacket pockets to munch some chips.That cold,now you know what I mean.This place’s most famous tourist spot is Zugspitze .Which is the highest peak in Germany.If its this damn cold down town,we are pretty sure by now we would never survive Zugspitze.We look at each other and wonder,what in the hell were we thinking when we decided to make a trip to this place.We walk aimlessly ,searching for the big MacDonalds sign anywhere.At least,lets keep our tummies happy,we think.During this aimless wander,we chance upon the Tourist Information Center.She tells us that temperature at Zugspitze is zero degree c. At least,ingeyaavathu single-digitla irukku,anga mela ponnaa aapu thaan,we think to overselves.As an after thought,she adds,”Actually,the conditions at Zugspitze are pretty mild today [ Err..since when did zero degree c become mild???].Though its zero degreeC,the suns shining up there and its a good time to visit the place.”We thank her for her advice and resume our search for Mac.Finally,after having filled our tummies,we decide,Zugspitze it is.Whether we can bear it or not,at least lets shiver a bit and catch the next train back.
Sitting in the cogwheel train ,all buttoned up to face the music.
First signs of snow atop this shed.

After a 1 hour journey we reach the mountain station,go out the door.And this is what we see.
A piece of heaven on earth.
