Neuschwanstein Castle

this should be the last post. i believe this is the last of the posts i was behind on.

my last saturday in switzerland i went with roberta and the kids to germany to see the Neuschwanstein Castle. this castle has a crazy story and was also the castle that inspired the disney sleeping beauty castle. when we arrived we found this great peak down below of the castle up above{first pics}. then when you go into the area you park down below and take a bus up the hill. then there is a little climb to a great bridge that overlooks the castle. so beautiful. then we walked over to the castle where we took a tour of the inside. it was such a beautiful castle and it is sad that it never was finished. this castle was built in the 19th century and the king, Ludwig II, had built a running toilet in his bedroom...which is a pretty big advancement in that time. i was in a king's bedroom. how often can you say that!?
i really wish i could see this place in the summer when the trees are green and the sky is blue. {check out images HERE} i would love to return someday and revisit this beautiful castle.


this castle below is the castle where Ludwig II, the king, grew up









a quick photoshoot at the castle


after we went through the tour inside, we got hot chocolate inside the castle's little restaurant.
then on the walk down from the castle we found some yummy pastries to try.
