Well, as days go, this one is pretty cool! I am writing this from the picnic area in the grounds of Neuschwanstein castle having walked the scenic route to the top and admired the stunning views. Sally is like a 5 year old on Christmas morning she is so happy, having wanted to come here for 20 years!
The countryside and mountains provide a pretty spectacular backdrop for the castle itself, built by a king who went mad and drowned himself... Probably because of all the tourists coming to visit his house!!
We have now abandoned our bikes after clocking over 600km (375 miles) in the last two weeks, and now have to learn how to walk again! We also have moved from bike panniers to our backs to lug our stuff around, so lucky we had the foresight to fly our rucksacks (backpacks for the Aussies) to Munich last month and drop them with Tess and Christian. We have already binned a few items to lighten the load and still they weigh a tonne!!!
The last few days have seen us travel from Heidelberg to Bruchsal to Munich but now we have a few days in one place as we look forward to the wedding of our friends Tess and Christian, before we fly to St Petersburg!
It's beautiful and sunny at the moment and long may it continue.
Word
Dan and Sally
