What a day!!!!!! It was absolutely beautiful. We went took a bus (Mercedes-they are everywhere here) 2 hours south east to the Austria-Germany border, which are the Alps. Up in the mountains is a castle built by King Ludwig II called Nauschwaunstein. It was just beautiful. We were not allowed to take any pictures inside the castle so go on-line and google it so you can see how beautiful it is. There is quite a story with King Ludwig II. He went mad and was dethroned and then found dead in a river by the castle. His death was ruled a suicide but many suspect foul play.
We then enjoyed a nice lunch there at some of the shops at the castle and did some shopping. We then drove through the countryside. One kind of cow they have in Bavaria is an Alpine cow. We then went to this beautiful church just out in the as middle of nowhere called Wiesekirche. It was breathtaking!!! It was here that I tried a Bavarian donut called schmalznudel. It was heavenly!!!!! (I have not ate anything on this trip that was not wonderful. Goethe Institut has wined and dined so much.)
Enjoy the beautiful scenary of my pictures. We leave Munich in the morning for Stuttgart on the west. Bye!
Joel-I saw this "true wiener" at the castle today!!!! :)
