TT #70


Thirteen Vacation Photos
Part 2a: Bayern, the castles

In the beginning of August, we took a week-long trip to Bavaria with all three kids and Carl's mom. Unlike our usual habit, we did touristy things every day, which made Dagny very happy.

4.
interior picture of Neuschwanstein (Carl was being sneaky--you're not allowed to take photographs inside the castle. The kids gave him hell for it.)
5.
view, including Hohenschwangau (the yellow castle on the hill) from a window in Neuschwanstein

6.
the horse-drawn carriage that took us up to Hohenschwangau (a concession to my mother-in-law's knees)

We weren't allowed to take pictures of the interiors of any of the castles, but you can see a lot of them on the castles' websites: Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau, and Linderhof.

Those are wonderful photos! It sounds like you had a good trip to Bayern! :) My humans have been to Neuschwanstein, and bought a book that had photos of the interior, since you aren't allowed to take photos inside. They haven't visited Linderhof yet, but it's on their list of places to visit.

Great photos! I love visiting castles in Europe!

Oh, they really should visit Linderhof while they're still in Munich! It's much nicer, I thought, than Neuschwanstein.

I'm so jealous! I have always wanted to go see both castles. We were in Germany for 6 years and didn't get to go. Thats what being pregnant all the time does to ya.

Awsome pics! I think I want to own a castle. But only if I can have an army of servants to go with it.
