Germany Day 4

Hey it's Kyle again. Well today was so cool. We woke up early and headed through the tip of Austria (next to Germany) to get to a different part of Germany. We then grabbed a few danishes to eat and then started hiking up a 2 kilometer hill to get to the Neuschwanstein Castle (pictured left). Inside the castle was really neat. We found out that Cinderella's Castle in Disney Land was modeled after this very castle.


In the throne room there was a painting on the ceiling of Jesus, his prophets, and his 12 appostles (shown left). The story of the throne is very interesting. The king only had the throne for 165 days. The reason for that is his psychiatrist told everybody that the king had mental illness and therefore he be banned. Later that year they both drowned on the same day and same place. The details are yet a mystery. My theory is the king got mad at the phsychiatrist for telling everyone and drowned him and then felt bad and drowned himself too.
After we left the castle we drove around the town of Fuumer and then headed back to the resort. We went swimming, ate dinner (more German food, spaetzle, bratwurst, knockwurtst and more sauerkraut), my mom did our laundry (thanks mom!!), and then watched a little bit of TV. Well I'll try to update you tomorrow but we will be driving back up to the first hotel we had and the Wi-Fi doesnt always work there. So tomorrow we are driving back and Sunday we will try to catch a flight back to the good old U.S.A.!
Happy 4th of July!!!!!
