Yesterday we took a train out to the Bavarian Alps on what was a splendidly hot and sunny day, to visit one of Mad King Ludwig's more eccentric building projects: Castle Neuschwanstein. It was fantastic but utterly, utterly bonkers. I can't describe it with any justice other to say visit the above link, and imagine what would happen if a very insane yet rich Bavarian King decided to build a fantasy palace on top of an alp. Oh, and I should add that he had an obsession with Wagnerian operas into the bargain.
We walked up to a nearby bridge over a waterfall and you can see some resultant piccys in the gallery. A magnificent day was had by all and today we are taking it easy, cycling into town to tour around a bit before heading off to Prague tomorrow.
