Guten noon hour,
Had an adventurous day yesterday with some classy bus tour companions en route to two castles built by crazy King Ludwig some time ago. As the first and last bus tour ever, it was the only way to get into the mountains to see these places and it was well worth it.
Started with an 8am rendez vous across the street from our ho(s)tel. Naturally had 2 pastries and a cheese covered pretzel for breakfast and headed to Linderhof Castle. Quickly realized we were in the presence of THE token American tourists; talking about the Green Bay Packers and how they were totally going all the way this year.
Castle was great, Jess and I were the fastest walkers, and then headed up to an unpronounceable ski resort town for lunch. Had another cheese covered bread and sandwich. Off to Neuschwanstein and we needed to carb up on beer for the 1.5km uphill '40 min' hike. We nailed it in 16 minutes in 30' heat. Castle was awesome, the tour guide was off his rocker creepy, and we headed back to the bus for 4:20. Ended up sitting there for 30 more minutes because 2 people never showed and we left them behind in the end 2 hours away from Munich.
Headed out for supper where Jess downed 5 sausages and I had jagershnitzel. Lauenbrau all around.
Today we may rent some bikes and cruise the city. Evening will bring Hofbrauhaus which will likely bring an early morning for our departure to Heidelberg. That's all for now and thanks for reading!
Emma: I guess I deserved that. But those are lies.

Ring ring - who's there? Haus and Schnitzel. Get used to it. Beats Ren and Stimpy. Right up there with Pinky and the Brain. See if you can stick to Bud Light at the HofBrauhaus. At least the mountain climbing would have you back down to that trim physique you left with.
ReplyDeleteHahaha... Jess, since I already call Graham "Ham", I think it will be "Schnitzel" for you! Thanks for the *cough* tasteful postcard. I'm glad all the equipment is helping you out, and that our advice came in handy at least for the first bit of the trip. You're missing an awesome summer here - I think the high on Sunday at the farm was 18deg.
