Yesterday we went to Füssen. Füssen is a small town which is lucky enough to be the home of two castles. One by the name of Neuschwanstein and the other called Hohenschwangau. Füssen is about 2 hours by train from Munich and then you catch a bus about 15 minutes to get to the castles. For the directionally challenged the bus is even labelled 'Castles'.

   The area is sooo pretty and there are lots of mountains, waterfalls, trees and a couple of castles too. You have to walk up a big hill to get to Neuschwanstein, all the time watching

Neuschwanstein Castle

for horses and their carriages (they use the same road) but when you get there you get a great view. Neuschwanstein inspired (or is thought to) Sleeping Beauty, Disneyland's castle and Chitty Chitty bang bang was filmed there. The castle, as Craig puts it, is exactly where he would put a castle if he built one. You can even climb the hill further and cross a bridge and look down on the castle and if you are a nut like Craig you can climb even further and look down with the second castle behind.

   Hohenschwangau we didn´t go to but it is bright yellow and looks like it is made out of Lego. Craig and I walked back to the buses by the waterfall which was really pretty and the water was really cold. I managed to hold Craig back this time, not so in the middle of the night in Munich however. Today, I am going to look at shoes Birkenstocks in particular and look at the Glokenspiel before heading to Switzerland.
