My last full day in Europe.  One final train trip and then some bumming around Munich.  Another site that I really wanted to see when I started planning this trip was Neuschwanstein Castle, aka the inspiration for Disney's Cinderella's castle.  It was an absolute gorgeous morning for another train trip.  A little crisp, but ok.



So what is this castle?  It has been the subject of many puzzles and posters over the years.  A stunning testament to one king.  I couldn't get an aerial pic, so here is one from the net.  Hopefully you can see my desire to see this structure.


It was hard to get a good picture of it all though.


The below picture may have been one reason.   
















The views were amazing also.




The town of Fussen is the gateway to the castle.  It's about a 90 min trip from Munich, but oh so worth it.


A second castle on a hill for King Ludwig II.



Even while I waited for the bus, I could sit and look at the castle.


Back to Munich for one last afternoon of Germany.  I decided to head to central Munich and enjoy the market area.



Michael Jackson's birthday was just a few days earlier.










One of many displays of meat.





I settled into a small cafe for one last dinner on this trip and it was as delicious as it looked.




That's it for the last full day of the vacation.
