Neuschwanstein Castle and Other Sites


It was on my bucket list.
Neuschwanstein Castle.
Check that off!

Huge
Gorgeous
Magnificent
Impressive
As we waited in line for the tour, we enjoyed a taste of Pretzel!

On the way to Lindendorf castle the next day, we enjoyed the lazy road winding through the Alps in Northern Austria and then back into Germany an hour or so later.  
It took our breath away when we saw this lake and mountain.  The Lech River and the adjoining lake had this very unusual turquoise color to it.

This palace was just as gorgeous as the previous castle.  We enjoyed a nice stroll through the gardens.
Then it was off to Oberammagau where the Passion Play is presented every 10 years.  Next time will be 2020.  This quaint little town had unique buildings.
Following along the Romantic Road, we stopped to see the Wieskirche Church. Wow!
Then, the following day we stopped in the town of Ulm and enjoyed a 30 minute organ concert in this cathedral. It is the tallest church in Europe.
We stayed in the small village of Dinkelsbuhl, very similar, however not as touristy as Rothenburg.
Each day, we purchased local bread, ham and cheese and made ourselves an open face sandwich.  We'd stop and eat it along with fresh fruit such as an apple or an orange.  
We would sit on a park bench and watch the world walk by.
Glenn drove 160 km an hour on the auto-bahn.  I just shut my eyes.
In Fussen, we strolled through the streets hand and hand.
We even ate some Spaghetti Ice Cream,
a local favorite!
"Spaghetti" - Ice Cream
"Tomato Sauce" - Strawberry Sauce
"Parmesan  cheese" - White Chocolate Sprinkles
