Füssen and Schloss Neuschwanstein, Bavaria, Germany
On sunday a group of us made the (very) long journey south to the Bavarian Alps to see Schloss Neuschwanstein, the Fairy-tale castle of King Ludwig II (he was rich and nuts)! The countryside and the mountians surrounding the castle make it particuliarly beautiful.
Here I am inside the castle courtyard ...
doesn't it look smaller up close??
The views from the castle were breathtaking!
After our tour of the castle we went on a hike in the mountains directly behind it. This means that I have lots of pictures of Neuschwanstein from various different angles ...
The town of Füssen was also really cute and interesting. The town's castle, built in the 15th century by the ruling Bishops, has these really cool Gothic trompe-l'oeil frescoes in the inner courtyard.

Look, it's us, Neuschwanstein, and a tree!!
Are these really windows?!?
Ok ... I had to include this because it shows the range of pictures that I have showing Neuschwanstein,
all from slightly different vantage points ... I have about 80 of these.

I took that exact same photo from the window of the angry clouds sometime in the last century. Then we climbed for many hours through the mountains that seem picturesque, but are actually mean very vertical hummers. That's okay all is forgiven. I've just had the best oyster and shrimp dinner ever with the new NOLA embassador to serbia and his glorious wife. lalalalala
