Neuschwanstein



At the end of the conference we traveled over to Fussen, Germany and the Neuschwanstein and Hohenshwangau castles.  Neuschwanstein is the fairy tale castle that the Disneyland castle was modeled after.  It was built in 1869 and commissioned by King Ludwig II.  Hohenshwangau was the childhood home of Ludwig II.  We left Garmisch with clear blue sky, but unfortunately by the time we made it to the castle it was foggy.  Regardless, it was a great visit.

This castle was less impressive from the outside, but alot of the interior was decorated.




We noticed that the crown in this stain glass was the same crown that we saw on display in Vienna.




This was our campsite for the night, that is a styling campervan!


We had a great view right behind our site.
