Kiddos in the back.
Mad driving skills in the pouring rain on the way to Fussen, Germany.
We made it to Fussen...now what is so special about it?
CASTLES. (I told you we became major fans!) Namely two castles belonging to King Ludwig, one of which was the family summer home when he was younger (Hohenschwangau) and the other, built and dedicated to his friend, and composer, Wagner (Neuschwanstein). Unfortunately for the viewers, the only way to see the truly extraordinary interiors is to go there yourselves...the artwork was incredible. I wish I could have taken photos just to attempt to capture it, but I guess this is the teaser for a trip to the south of Germany!
Hohenswangau
On the climb...Tom, Tsvetelina, Rachel, Bob
A break before we get tto the top: Me and Rachel!
It was raining...I refused to move for fear of getting even MORE wet.
View from the castle portal where cameras had to go away :(
The main stair
The "summer home" castle from the mountain
Now, up the hill to the icing on the cake, the castle built by ("crazy") King Ludwig, who had grown up in the previous castle, but wanted his own...less than a mile away.
From the side...it's definitely huge.
View from the rear of the castle
Yes...this is the castle that Disney's Sleeping Beauty's castle was designed after...make's you wonder, "donde esta el principe azul?"
