Munich Day 2

We drove towards the Alps this morning, headed to Neuschwanstein castle





Look! There it is! Looming in the distance



The place was CRAZY and involved standing in a lot of long lines. We entertained ourselves by trying on hats at the souvenir shops






We had to hike up the hill to reach the castle









The castle is pretty incredible. It looks fake! No wonder this castle was the inspiration to Walt when he created the Cinderella castle at Disneyland



This picture was not taken by us (obviously) but it's the best view, taken up above from the Alps








No wonder crazy Ludwig chose this sight for his massive, mystical castle with views like these











On our hike down, we watched the sky and began to worry that it might rain







Just as we sat down outside under the big umbrellas, the downpour began






On our way back we stopped at this little church in the middle of nowhere










And also pet the horses!






We went into Munich that evening, seeing the famous Glockenspeil and eating dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe


The end of another day in Europe!
