Sächsische Schweiz with Nötzold family

One more entry in my blogspot, yet another Sachsiches experience and one more lovely outing with Nötzold family. I never visited any family in India this quite often, twice in a year, never imagined that I would visit a German family twice in a year which is around 400 kms away from my place. This time had a chance to see Sächsische Schweiz (Sachsen Swiss). Even though can not be compared to Swiss, it’s a scenic mountainous area where one gets a panoramic view of the river elbe originating from Czech Republic from the mountain top.

We had a chance to go to near by zoo in Chemnitz. It’s been almost before 20 years that I visited a zoo. Nice to recollect the childhood days and meet all my friends ;). Normally traveled to Chemnitz along with Torsten in his car. This time had a chance to be in the driver seat and travel 400 Kms in German autobahns with pleasant weather. The drive from Magdeburg to Chemnitz was fascinating with no speed limits in the autobahn. I drew motivation from different personalities whom I came through with my experiences in life, but Torsten is a class act of how he manages both professional and personal life. Thanks Angela for nearly showing almost all the places in the Sachsen region in this span of five visits.

Ich liebe Nötzold familien!
Sathish & Anita.

Crazy dream came true....210 Km/h in German autobahns... :)

Every body has small crazy dream in their life to be fulfilled. I had one such long dream of driving in German autobahns (National Highways) with out any speed limits when I came to this country before six years. During my stay in India, three things which always striked about Germany was their beer, their national highway with no speed limits with Mercedes, BMWs, Audis and their football team. Germany is the only country in the world which has no speed limits.

It’s indeed a marvelous experience for me to satiate this dream with Audi A3 in German autobahn to drive at 210 Km/h. The weather was pleasant and thanks to Anita who handled the stress by sitting next to me ;) I had to wait for long time and surpass many hard struggles for this dream to come true because of the various constraints involved in getting German driving license. There goes a saying its never late than never. Always chase your dreams!
