Gerardmer: the heart of High Vosges




From Nancy, we drove to Gerardmer. The actual plan was actually to St Die Voges. But St Die was not so nice, we drove right away to Gerardmer. It was getting dark, I was very nervous at that time coz that would make my task harder hehehe.
At first I didn't believe when Mo said that some cars had snow on the top of the roof. As we drove approaching Gerardmer, we had to stop and find a hotel to stay in. forgot why, maybe it was already to dark.
The next morning, walked out the door, stunned, all white. was like a little girl who were in the zoo for the first time. very much excited.
Later on that day, I got the chance to witness those beautiful mountains and jungles. The view was breathtaking. Scenery like that I only saw in films, pictures or posters. I've been blessed. Again like Paul Coelho said in his book the Alchemist, once you decide, the universe conspires to make it happen.
From the hotel, drove to tourist info center to buy a walk map and hostel guidebook. Drove again to the hostel, checked in and then took a walk. We planned to go to a lake but somehow we got lost in the middle of the jungle.

during the walking, I made my first snowman. Mo made the body and I made the head. Well I made the egg head and Mo did the finishing touch. Actually Mo made most part of the snowman hihihi. Below you can see the amazing result of a fruitful cooperation between Indonesia and Dutch hihihi.

It took us a while to get out of that labyrinth. We went back to the hostel. But first buy some hansaplast for my blister. Didn't get the hansaplast I wanted but another product that cost me 10 euro hahaha. I could buy one t-shirt or 12 times lunch in Indonesia with that amount. Its ok at least I had something to laugh at. ( anyone interested in buying that thing, please contact me, I still have 8 pieces :-)).
