Alpenblick Füssen

... takes about 1:20 hrs.<br> 2) A shorter route is the direct route that goes via Reute in Austria. It is a scenically extremely beautiful route, as it leads through the Ammer Valley with 2000 meter high mountains towering on both sides of the valley. However, there are some problems. Reute is located in Austria just south of Füssen. It is however important to find the right turn off to Linderhof ...

... free camping ahead :) We drove towards Munich and parked once again on the street in a small town, which has by far been our most common theme for free camping but is usually the safest choice for us. The best part about Fred is that he is small enough to park on the street and does not look like a campervan, so anyone who sees him most likely would think it was a mail truck or something&#8230;at least that is what we tell ourselves :)

... The Schloss is the last stop on the Romantic Road in Germany. There were many Japanese tourists, which was fun for us to see. Unfortunately one side of the castle was under repair, but it was still beautiful to see the castle in its lush surroundings.

... too.<br>The rest of the tour took us to Linderhof castle and Neuschwanstein castle. What magical looking places they were. Neuschwanstein is the castle Walt Disney uses the sillohette of at the start of his movies. Anyway, after the trip it was back to Munich for a day or so and then on the plane home.

... heck they could possibly do with all. Feed small countries with their stocks??? Wierd! Bars/restaurants/beer gardens seem to sell only their one brand of beer and it's varying darks, lights, blondes, etc. Don't walk in and ask for a Bud or a Heineken. First of all that's now how these places appear to work, and secondly that would be quite rude, since German beer is likely the best beer I have ever tasted!! I really hope/doubt I will be able to find any in Winnipeg ...

... in Germany, nice cheap tea at a Bavarian restaurant (good prices again) then a long walk in dark to the hostel. When we got there we found that we had a very old booking and they now had a new hostel close to the station. So back to where we started, thankfully they drove us back in. At least it will be much easier to leave gear while we visit the castle. Ashley went for a walk and sang in the dark.

... everyone showed up for work today, and if Gianni is finished with his cigarette and... No. I knew I had to hoof it. And, in fact, I ended up sprinting the last 500 yards, yelling at the conductor who was just stepping into the last car as I rounded the corner and caught sight of the platform. I thanked her profusely once I was aboard. If I had missed that train it would have cost me an hour or more and I had to be back for that 4:44. So if I wanted to see the castle, I needed ...

Another work conference for my parents brought us to Oberammergau for a week. We stayed in the cutest little wooden cottage - like the whole thing ceiling to floor and including flowering window boxes was made out of wood! Totally picturesque like you've read about in Brothers Grimm fairy tales. Aromatic town bakery. Absolutely enchanting.

<br>Today we drove up into the mountains to see the fairy tale castle, Neuschwanstein. This is another of Ludwig's castles, this one unfinished, and served as the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle. It ...

... napkins. <br> <br><br>We toured Linderhof, one of crazy King Ludwig's castles. It's the only one that was finished before he died. Even though it wasn't sunny, Rick made some gorgeous pictures.
