Neuschwanstein Castle, Oberammergau, Dachau, Germany - Oct 12 - 13

Toured the Neuschwanstein Castle built by Ludwig the Mad. A 19th century Romanesque Revival palace in Bavaria. The palace was the inspiration for Disney's Sleeping Beauty castle. Ludwig died before it was completed and it has been open to the public since 1886. Way over the top!! No pictures inside....

Then drove to Oberammergau to see the beautiful houses, walked around, quaint village, amazing neatness!!

Drove to Dachau, had leftovers and fresh salad in a lovely bright room.

The next morning we toured the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, very moving, very sad. Spent 3 hrs there, excellent museum and a very hard to watch video....horrible times....

Drove to Regensburg, into apartment in old town, "Golden Crane", found thru Home Away, on Engelburgerstrasse. The apt is all "green", all appliances are bought for their energy efficiency, they buy green energy, very simple, elegant and very well equipped! Dinner out at a Vegan Restaurant nearby, awesome pasta!
