bridge woes and aftermath
After the bridge (one the parts I liked best about this trip) we walked down near the water we were just standing over. Kionna and I actually went all the way down to the river and I considered jumping in one of the pools for a quick "swim" but I didn't ...
little city, big castles

Kastély a mesékből, király a zárt osztályról
Bőséges reggeli után elindultunk a neuschwansteini kastélyt megnézni. Alig 20 perces autóút után megérkeztünk Hohenschwangauba, ahol leparkoltunk, mert kocsival nem lehet a kastélyhoz közelebb jutni. Hohenschwangauban kizárólag ...

... , let alone a mountain like this. Our weather wouldn't be any where near as extreme as it would be in this area of Germany. Weekly food shopping too would be a nightmare with all the stairs in the castle. They would probably conclude that it ...

Right now I'm on a train back from seeing the Cinderella Castle. Its actual name is Neuschwanstein. We pretty much spent the whole day traveling today. We had breakfast at 8am and were hoping to catch the 9:21 train but we ended up catching the 9:51 ...
