Okay, people, it’s time to head up the hill to Neuschwanstein castle!!!
Yes, you can ride part way up in a horse cart, but don’t get too excited… there is still a long, steep walk in front of you.
The good news is that the scenery up there is awesome.





This really is one of the most beautiful parts of Germany.
Remember we are only a few miles from the Swiss border. There are lakes and rivers and the alps towering majestically in the background.
Small streams and big rivers run down the sides of the mountains, even in summer.
All in all, not a bad way to spend a day.
But if I just rode a bike up that hill, I sure wouldn’t be smiling.









But…but… you didn’t mention whether or not the hills were alive with the sound of (ah nevermind.)
they were… believe me…
Thinking of buying a castle?
How about a bridge? i believe i have one in your neighbourhood..
we already have bridges
i know, i had hoped to sell it back!
that’s cheating
Oops..
yup
What about the last word?
what about the word last?
I would love to visit that area, but alas, my hiking days are pretty much over.
my mom made it up there… pulled herself up along a wall… HA!
Somehow I can’t really picture myself doing that. God bless your mom.
I think he already did… HA!!!
If I had to live in Germany, I think it would be near the Alps. I don’t like flat terrain. Nice pictures, Art.
glad you are enjoying them
I think she was laughing at the American taking selfies. 😀 Awesome pictures Art. Thank You.
Thank you… and you may be right… I may be crazy… but it just might be a lunatic you’re looking for.
Bwahahaha! So true. You may not believe this but I used that line on a woman once when I did something spectacular to gain her attention. It turned out she was looking for an investment banker, not a lunatic and she said as much as she left. I guess that just proved she wasn’t the right one anyway. 😀
That seems like a very specific interest she had.
She was a business prof at the university.
Sounds like she was an ‘Uptown Girl” (But she wasn’t looking for a Down Town Guy.)
ha
She actually came from working class parents but had aspirations Domingo. Too bad.
freekin’ aspirations
I might also have gone with; but did she have a nice aspiration?’… ha!
Very lush aspirations – Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love big aspirations… and I cannot lie…
The aspirations do tend to droop as one ages…
Mine have vanished altogether
that is funny on more than ne level, by the way
sounds like a hoot
Is that the castle where they filmed scenes from “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”?
I wouldn’t be surprised. It was the inspiration for Disney’s Cinderella castle in Disneyland.
wait… didn’t I answer this one? It is still blue… like I missed it… did I comment in the wrong comment box???
Yes, you answered.
phew
How beautiful. And I totally agree, I wouldn’t be smiling if I rode a bike up there. Maybe it’s my age. haha
I might ride a bike where it is flat… maybe
