Greetings from Munich and Neuschwanstein Castle!
After leaving Berlin we traversed Germany to reach Neuschwanstein Castle near the Switzerland border. It was fun driving the autobahn on the way there! We had brief stopover in Munich on our way for dinner and snuck in a couple of pictures (albeit it was a bit rainy!)
Neuschwanstein Castle is located in the Bavaria region of Germany. Many think this castle was the inspiration for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. We found a new hotel that just opened in February that was located at the base of the castle. You could look up at the castle while eating breakfast!
We toured the inside of the castle then were able to walk to a bridge overlooking it. Thankfully, it wasn’t raining and the morning clouds started to break! Here are a few pictures:
This is a short post for us, but look for another post soon from the Swiss Alps!

What a beautiful castle!!!!
Glad you made it to the Neuschwanstein Castle. We were there and stayed in a very pretty chalet in Bavaria with a real coo koo bird on our balcony in the morning. Uncle Nikolaus drove us down there on the autobauhn at 100 plus mph. Somebody put their breaks on and he said something in German, and slammed on the breaks! Whee!!!
It was actually kind of tiring to drive as the slow lane was so much slower than the fast lane. You had to really pay attention to what was going on, but it was fun!
