CC: Lost In The Black Forest
>> Thursday, April 14, 2011
It has been a while since I made an update and a CC entry for this blog. It's high time that I start blogging again, don't you think? Yesterday's theme for Couple's Corner is just the right timing and although late, here I am typing my entry away.
Us before we got lost in the middle of the Black Forest.
It was June, the summer of 2009 when we went for a drive and visited Baden-Baden, near the Black Forest. Because we had a navigation system, it was quite easy to get to our destination even if it was our first time to go there. We went sightseeing the entire day and booked for an overnight stay at a Gasthaus (local hotel) near Freudenstadt, a small town south of the Black Forest. And because it was summer, the sun would usually set at around 9:00 PM so we had ample time to drive through the forest for our hotel.
The hotel where we stayed for the night.
We were finally able to check in at around 11:00PM. Whew!
We were almost near our destination when we made a wrong turn. Perhaps the GPS can no longer recognize the dirt road that was leading up the mountains so it just kept saying, "Please follow the arrows on the display." And followed it, we did. We saw a billboard showing the vicinity map of the area and that was when we knew that we were lost. And it was in the middle of the forest! It was getting dark so we still continued to drive. I started to panic when it was already really dark and all we could see are the logs piled at the side of the road and the trees and the road that were made visible by the car head lights. We went back on our way and luckily found a local restaurant in the middle of the forest. Strange, huh? Good thing the staff can speak English and told us which road to take. They also told us to come back if we still can't find our way so that they can call a taxi that we can follow.
It was really a very scary experience. Hubby and I could only look at each other's eyes as if in agreement that we had an invisible passenger that night who wanted to be dropped off in that area. Thinking about that incident still gives me goosebumps.
And that is my share for this week's Couple's Corner.

whooaah! that's CREEPY..
it's like a creepy movie where you get lost and can't find your way out. good thing it's not a movie haha! :D my CC is here
kakakilabot naman yan, hehehe.. nag goosebumps ako. Buti na lang at mababait ang mga tao dyan, itinuro kayo sa right direction. Yung GPS din namin pumapalya eh, kaya minsan nag ma map quest din ako. kapag medyo ilang na lugar na di na ma basa ng satellite.
Sometimes gadgets like GPS doesn't work well on the road. But good thing you are not lost and you were able to ask people nearby. That is a classic looking hotel too. btw sis kikamz, maki-suyo ako sayo na paki-leave naman nang comment sa contest entry ko dito: http://www.heartscontentofamama.com/2011/05/my-most-memorable-moment-as-a-mother-and-a-contest.html Need some money to buy new clothing for my second baby who will be due this July 27th.
