We traveled along the "Romantic Road" through traditional, old villages and stopped to appreciate the artistic beauty of the cathedrals and monasteries. As the rain slowed a bit and the fog settled in, we arrived at the Neuschwanstein Castle - commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria and inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle! The inside was ornate and filled with brilliant colors and jewels. We then hiked through a small gorge, following waterfalls and streams and enjoying the beautiful, greenery.
The afternoon was spent on a small farm where we enjoyed fresh meats, cheeses and bread. For dessert - cheesecake!
