Neuschwanstein Schloss, Bavaria...

Since Chris and heard it was in Bavaria, we made it a priority to visit the Disney Castle (known by American tourists). As Chris mentioned on his blog, King Ludwig II set out to build this and three other castle over two decades. He oversaw every single decision and had impeccable taste. When all was said and done there were several rooms that remained unfinished and he was only able to live in the finished rooms for 6 months before his untimely death. The castle was used as a model for Sleeping Beauty's castle by Disney.


Easter is a huge holiday in Germany (mainly for the Easter egg hunts) and many trees were decorated with plastic eggs. It was very colorful and brought a smile to my face each time I saw it.
It freaked Chris out a little though...that or made him hungry, I can't quite tell!


Believe it or not, this is not a postcard, but the actual view from the castle. I think I could live with this view day in and day out.
