Dad & Austin's Euro Trip -Neuschwanstein Schloss


Neuschwanstein Schloss is the castle that inspired Walt Disney for Cinderella's and Sleeping Beauty's castle.  It's been on my do to list since I moved here and I was able to convince Dad and Austin to go see it.  It's about 3 hrs south of Nurnberg at the Austria/Swiss border.  It's very cool.
Here is the view as you approach....


You arrive in a small village and then can either walk up or take a horse drawn carriage to the base of the castle.  We decided to take the carriage ride - it was hot.  You can also do a tour of the inside, but we were all ready too late for the last tour!  Craziness.  If you go I suggest booking your tickets in advance.
Here is the view on the way up....









And at the Castle.....









After we checked out the castle we headed to the biergarten just down the hill for lunch.  Yes, Dad and Austin had pizza, again.






When we got back to Nurnberg that evening we met Maria and Emil for dinner at the other go-to Italian restaurant, La Cucina.  Clearly, there was shared bromance between my Dad, Austin and Emil.
