Ammersee Hotel Herrsching

... was near completion when in 1886, the king was declared insane and was later found dead, floating in shallow water in a nearby lake, drowned, along with the psychiatrist who had certified him insane. His death still remains a mystery, and there are many theories floating around as to what actually happened. Although the exterior was completed, the interior was only half finished. The castle was opened up after his death, to try to pay ...

... definately an amusing sight to see bottle after bottle flying out into the French and Belgium Country side. Eventually the whole toilet door had to be removed and reattached as some bright spark managed to lock it from the outside. After many RTD's and lots of random acts of entertainment (such as one guy ripping his underwear right out from underneath him and then proceeding to try eat it) we made it to our campsite at Thalkirchen in Munich. On arriving it was just like a ...

... Last night I put on my walking shoes just in time for it to start down pouring so after my shoes and pants were soaked and I had snapped maybe two photos and decided to find a bar and have a couple of beers. Schwarienger or something of the sort is the name of the beer and what better else to have with it then a nice piece of apple pie (I'm sure some of you were thinking a brat but thats on my list for tonight). It was delicious and I dont ...

... hear traditional German music. Come to find out, it was coming from one of the tiers of the Chinese tower, played by a bunch of old men in liederhosen! I knew I would want to spend some time here, even if I was alone, just to people ...

... freaked a little when I told her that I had been on them before on my pushie !!! A couple of hours later, we were in Munich, so we dumped the car and bags and hit the streets. It was late, so there wasn't anything to do, so we died instead Once awake, we were both excited about being in Munich for the first time ever, however Lucy was ****** off straight away as she found an ice rink and didn't have her skates !!! Amazingly for the largest city ...

We took the S5 tram south out of the city to the very end of the line. The quaint little town is popular for the preserved monestary, Andrechs. Founded in 1455, this monestary is somewhat of a city within its own stone walls atop the highest hill in the area. The church is beautifully adorned in Roccoco style (which is gold and marble ...

... For dinner, I had a true Bavarian meal: 2 sausages with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. It was very good. Usually, I would not touch the kraut, but I tried it since we were here and I really liked it...not as bitter tasting as that back in the US. Now we are back at home. Tomorrow, we are heading to the Dachau Concentration Camp, the Olympic Park, and hopefully the BMW museum. It should be a fun day before heading to Vienna on Wednesday. Peace out from Germany...aka Deutchsland.

A place for a beer. We got here and the sightseeing took under an hour. A church with a devils footprint, a few shops, and watch the coo coo clock do its song and dance. After? Time for a beer. We went to the Hofbrauhaus for a drink. I ended up drinking 4-5 liters of beer and some pretzels. It ...

The last time I visited this fairytale castle, it was nearly 15 years ago. It was end of summer and the fog spoiled the view of the beautiful castle for me. And all I could remember was the walk up the castle which even then was quite a challenge for me. I could not however, forget the postcard picture of this castle and so I decided to play hooky from the conference I was attending in Munich and take ...

... then decided to play along. "Okay, we want to go to King Ludwig's Castle tomorrow and need some information." "Third question." "We need a post office." "Fourth question." "We're looking for a bank." "Fifth question." "No, that's it." "Okay. A bank is right over there in the train station, a post office is across the road, here is a brochure on King Ludwig's Castle and this list of hotels will ...
