An Exciting Day at the Castle





On Thursday we traveled to a town in Southern Germany called Fussen where we toured two castles. Hoheschwangau was built by King Maximilian II of Bavaria and the second, Neuschwanstein, was built by his son, King Ludwig II. Just our group traveled that day because we had our interviews with the Fashion Journalism program at the AMD school in Munich the day before. Our interviews went really well and we got to meet a few very talented students to speak about their program. It was nice to not travel in a large group, but the trip still stressful. There was only one direct train home, but we made it just in the nick of time.

The castles were beautiful, though it was quite the hike to get to them. The first castle wasn't what we expected. The rooms were quite small but still prestigious nonetheless. Neuschwanstein was absolutely gorgeous. Though the tour was limited to only a few rooms, it was breathtaking. King Ludwig II died during its lengthy construction so much of the castle's interior was left unfinished. Overall it was an excellent adventure that we will always remember. But the wifi in Europe is still on our bad side.
