Millrose, Chris, and Laura went on their first excursion out of Munich area to see Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Okay it was King Ludwig's castle Schloss Neuschwanstein and his parents castle Schloss Hohenschwangau. But it is too cool to say Sleeping Beauty's castle. Only wish I got to see her! King Ludwig grew up at his parents' mountain retreat and when he became king built his own castle. Did you know the castle is only about partly complete? King Ludwig only stayed in it for a half a year and then "mysteriously" died after being declared mentally ill and unfit to be king.
It was interesting to hear the history of this place. The area is amazing. So beautiful! Swans are the theme at the castle. I guess King Ludwig had a kind of fascination with them. But they are even swimming in the lake. Swans are common to see here. We saw a family of swans at Garching Lake.
Sorry I can't upload pics. Take a look at the photo link. The photos are all on the web.
