Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Castle

Here are some pictures from the famed "Neuschwanstein" castle, in the Bavarian Alps in Southern Germany. Mad Kind Ludwig started to build this castle but died before it was completed. It remains the top tourist destination in this area. Julie and Melissa hiked up to the castle and back down to the parking area. We got the best view from Marys' Bridge, just above the castle. With the fall leaves in full color, it sure was something to see! After visiting the castle we drove to the nearby town of Fussen and sat outside in near 70 degree weather and had lunch. Unheard of temperature for this time of year. We feel very fortunate as we have had one day of rain on our trip so far. (knock on wood)
