Spiez, Switzerland. Day 3/9. 25 Aug to 2 Sep 2022.

-
 27 Aug 2022, Saturday. 22 to 25 degrees celsius with hot sunshine.
Spiez Castle on Lake Thun.

Our next destination, Ringgenberg.

This is a typical illustration of the train connection from Zermattt to Ringgenberg when we used the SBB App to search for train departure time.
Ringgenberg can be connected via train, bus or ferry from Interlaken Ost station. All mode of transport is covered under Swiss Pass. 
Whatever it is, we have to do a transfer at Visp station. I wanted to do more other than just train transfer after train transfer. That was how I ended up having lunch at Migros Restaurant at Visp Station.

Spiez station is small. Lockers were lined near to train platform one. Lockers were limitted, most of them taken up when we reached. Managed to find 2 lockers for our luggages. We noticed people paid for a large locker to keep their small little handbag just to be hands free. It cost CHF5 for a large locker and CHF3 for a small lockers.
Noticed there were alot of people near the castle area.

A closer look, there was an event going on. 

Only this building attracted my attention while taking a walk around its town.

Lunch at Migros Restaurant.
Cost us CHF42.70. Restaurant served alot of fries, 4 of us cannot finish these 3 servings.
I wanted to try Migros restaurant's food. There is one at Interlaken West station. After reading reviews from Google Map, decided to choose this place for its ambience and convenience since we need to do our train transfer here.

Migros restaurant at Spiez is big.
They served salad buffet here too but we did not try.

Chicken CHF9.90, Meat CHF16.90, Salmon fish CHF15.90.
Migros food were priced reasonably. Realy glad we came to Spiez for lunch.


Restaurant over lake view.
The reason I chose this place for lunch over interlaken.
This shopping mall housed Migros Restaurant at Level one, supermarket at Basement one. The supermarket is big and we managed to get all our groceries for 3 dinners. Oh, the toilet here was clean and free. So happy.
We managed to get some decent food for the next 3 dinners. The salad vegetables was so cheap. only CHF2.95 for a big packet. Definately cost us more than SGD8 in SG. So glad was able to get some gluten free buns. Thier gluten free bread actually cost just slightly above the normal ones. Unlike in SG, it is double or triple the normal bread prices. Also rather thankful that we are able to get freshly grilled chicken tight at only CHF2.90. Was on offer that day, normal price is CHF4.90.

Spiez Train station.
A small and relaxed station with a small train station building. (The building at the right top corner). 


Summary on Spiez.
Nothing much here other than the castle. 
Worth to stop by here for Migros Restaurant and supermarket since we need to transfer our train here. Love that it was not that crowded here.

Itinearary at at glance.

190728 Aeon Tebrau Malaysia

Aeon Tebrau shopping mall, JB Malaysia We read that this Mall is twice the size of Aeon Bukit Indah. Though I was able to read blogs on how big it is, I was not able to find its directory. AEON may have its website but I just cannot find its tenant list. So here is the tenant list that I manage to get when I was there recently. Though they have only 3 level, it is big enough for us to walk the whole day, practically shop until we drop. Ground floor 1st floor 2nd floor If you are food lover like me, you will find this place a food heaven. Especially you only pay 1/3 of the price for restaurant food we have to pay over in Singapore. Click here on  what we ate at Aeon Tebrau . There are seats for shoppers to rest if you are tired Other than Padini, Uniqlo and other big brands, I found a new Jap brand here. The price range is just like Uniqlo but I feel the material for Co Co is better.  Aeon Tebrau, I will come back again. Perhaps when I plan my n

Walking Trail - MacRitchie Reservoir

171202 - This time we walk around the whole reservoir. I guess it is about 11km. Took 4 hours to finish the whole course. Walk around the whole reservoir. Start from Venus Drive, go southwards to MacRitchie Reservoir, continued westward via Lornie Trail, then northwest to Golf Link, east to Sime Track and back to Venus Carpark. We took 4 hours. Feel so good. Spotted durian trees with lots of durian at Drongo Trail. One guy told us he climb and flip over the waist high fence from the boardwalk to check on the top right fruit but realised it has been eaten by some animals. After Drongo Trail, head southwards via MacRiche Nature Trail. You see such scenery until...... Joggers from school running fast n asking ppl to give way to them. That really spoil our peace n slowed down our walk. So it would be better to walk around 4pm if we like to explore this trail. About 1.5 hour time, we reach MacRitchie Reservoir Park. I guess we can do it within 1 hour if not because o
