April 15th- Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein




Because Julie is always treated like a princess we decided to visit some castles. Both castles were built by the Bavarian King Ludwig II. Neuschwanstein took him 17 years to build but he only lived there for 172 days before he died under mysterious circumstances.... this was also the castle that was the basis for the Castle in Sleeping Beauty and at Disney. It was great waking up, looking up and seeing the castles from our hotel room.
We left Germany and headed to Mulhouse France -- via Zurich--- which was a nightmare. to end the day we bought some chocolates and found a small pizza place in France, where Dave had to fight for the correct bill as they tried to rip us off.
