Castle Climb

That is a view of the first castle we visited. From the top of the second castle we visited. Climbing up to the Neuschwanstien castle was quite the work out, but getting lost on the way down was more fun. The quaint little town of Schwangau was perfect for reasonably priced souvenirs and getting your shoes wet in the puddles between cobblestones. (The streets here are still better than I-20). In all, despite the cold temperatures in the Alps, and the on-and-off rain, we enjoyed seeing some very cool castles of the Maxmillian family and eating very delicious and very warm Bavarian food. Overall, our perilous climb was worth the rewards.
