Once Upon a Time...

A girl named Lady Jill and a boy named Sir Stephen found themselves only 2 hours away from one of the most beautiful castles in the world. This extraordinary castle was built exactly the way any child would imagine a castle looking like. This sibling team, booked a tour and departed from the Munich train station at 9:30 am. After two hours of green fields, black forests, and quaint countryside towns, the duo arrived at a small "town" just below the Neuschwastein Castle. For about 30 minutes, the tour guide had explained the history of this fascinating castle while still on the train. Therefore, after a quick lunch in "town," the whole group began the short trek up the hill. Their first stop was to cross a wet, rickety wooden bridge over a towering waterfall. The scariest part was how many people this poor bridge was holding, but hold them all it did. After taking several pictures and ooh-ing and ahh-ing over this picturesque view, the group continued their journey to the castle.
Upon entering the castle grounds, Lady Jill and Sir Stephen continued in their photographing ways until the time had arrived to enter the castle. While walking around this castle, they learned how its builder, King Ludwig II loved building castles but rarely finished them due to budget crisis'. This castle is one of those unfinished products. This king also designed the castle after the opera by Vaugner (sp?). It was quite extraordinary.
Although Lady Jill was indeed a Lady, she also contains a mischevious nature that sometimes shows itself. Knowing that one of her friends, Sir Sean, would soon be visiting this same castle and taking the very same tour, Lady Jill decided to write a special note and hide it somewhere in the castle for Sir Sean to find. Who knows if this scheme will be successful, we will find out in later chapters.
After planting the note in a special place, Lady Jill and Sir Stephen finished the tour which included breathtaking views of the valleys surrounding this "castle on a mountain". By the end of the tour, the sun had finally decided to shine which created the perfect afternoon to hike back down the mountain through a gorge (following their fearless leader, the tour guide, of course).
Being the generous sort, Lady Jill and Sir Stephen forwent their 1st class priveleges to sit with common folk on the 2 hour train ride back. They were rewarded by sitting next to an interesting older couple who had recently retired and oddly enough, were in Germany for a wedding which the lady had sung at!!! (weird coincidence...). Once in Munich again, the royals had time to spare before their night train to the Interlaken, so they searched for a place to eat. After dinner in a Beer Garden (yuk, i really do not care for beer...) they searched for a couple more sights. As soon as they'd found one (after seeing a castle, it was hard to be impressed :) ), the sky decided to pour down rain. Sir Stephen and Lady Jill ran into a coffee shop called San Francisco Coffee (of all places..) and made a game of determining who the other people in the coffee shop were and what their life story was. It was quite an entertaining game. After coffee, they walked home in the pouring rain and arrived at the hostel (very close to the train station) soaking wet. To pass the remaining time, Lady Jill updated.
The End.

We took plenty of pictures but i will have to wait for another computer to upload them. Off to the Interlaken!
