Day Four – 27 Sep 2008 – Castle Day
This was a day all four of us had looked forward to. Even though we had all been in this area before, Marie is the only one who had been to Neuschwanstein Castle.
We toured the lower castle first – Hohenschwangau – and then hiked up the mountain to tour Neuschwanstein Castle.

This is a bridge that is behind Neuschwanstein Castle. After the tour, we walked up to this bridge.

Neuschwanstein - "New Swan Castle" - You must have swans at the swan castle.
After touring Neuschwanstein we drove to the Linderhof Castle- another of “Mad” King Ludwig’s castles. Here we are on the grounds of Linderhof Castle.
Upon returning to Reutte to our hotel, we came across these street performers. I mean this literally as the parade was going right down the street we needed to go on. It was Oktoberfest in Germany. There were 5 or six perfomers walking and dancing on stilts and 2 marching bands dressed in traditional Bavarian costumes.

Wow! What amazing pictures! Thanks for sharing them. It looked like you had a great time. It reminds me of the fun we had when you picked me up from my mission.
I want to go! G & I didn't go to the castle when we were in Germany for the 1 day. We spent time walking around a small town. It looks beautiful!!!
