Neuschwanstein Castle, and Austria

Further into the Alps, and to Neuschwanstein
Franziska and Matt wait for the horse and carts to arrive down in the township.


We went by horse and cart up through the snowfilled forest, up to the Castle.  Funny, it has never been finished as the king Ludwig II of Bavaria died before it was finished (only one of his many castles has been finished).  There were several very impressive rooms open for display which we  really enjoyed seeing.



Then we walked back down through the snow to get back into the cars and drive into Austria for dinner!

 Ice scuplture, Austria
Dinner in Austria, with Mulled Wine (Gluwein)

A dark drive home in slippery snow, round a lake and back via Autobahn (200km/hr) to Munich..wheww what a day
