Off to do some castle hunting

On the go early today because we are castle hunting not to far out of Munich maybe 100 ks or so up in the lower alps, today we will visit the Schloss Linderhof  and the Neuschwanstein castle. As we float down the autobahn in the slow lane of course I reflect on my 4 days in the German city of Munich, this easy going city of 1.3 million people is not without it’s problems but all in all it was a great city to spend some time. Now the first castle of the day was the Lindenhof situated at the foot of the alps, to me this king was not traveling to flash and  this would be the poverty pack for a not so rich king. Now Neuschwanstein it was a different story this bloke had more than a few bob , the hard upbringing by his parents made him a bit of a loner. So he moved out of home and built his own little palace just over the valley from mum and dad, and the sad bit he only lived in it for about 130 days he died at 40 years of age . The countryside up here is beautiful and the weather yesterday was 27 today in the foothills of the alps maybe 10 c , must go up early tomorrow to catch a flight to Latvia.......WADDA
