Three Castles of Mad King Ludwig (9/2/2011)



After a few senic detours we made our way in our rented BMW (not really made for 3 adults in the backseat) to the Neuschwanstein castle.  We took the bus up to Mary's bridge for some fantastic views of the castle which was the inspiration for the Walt Disney castle. We decided to skip the interior and head to the Hohenschwangau castle for a tour as this is where King Ludwig spent most of his life growing up and as he built the other castle. Then we went to Linderhof which was the highlight of the trip - very ornate inside with gorgous gardens outside.  Leanne left her mark in a few of the bushes along the way as she was battling a case of 24 hour flu. We finished off the evening in Oberammergau with a walk around town and a lovely meal on a patio.  Leanne had beef broth and gingerale while the rest had a 3 course gourmet meal. Good news, Leanne was feeling much better after and everything stayed down for the trip back to town. Thanks to Doug for the patient driving and opportunistic u-turns.
