Today we traveled by train down to Hohenschwangau for our tours at both of the castles. It was a very easy and relaxing trip that took us most of the day.
I felt like Harry Potter.....I've never traveled by train before.
Do you think Sydney would sit this well on a train ride?
We could see the Alps from our train.
When we arrived we walked around to check out the sights and checked into our hotel. Our room had a view of the Hohenschwangau Castle that was King Ludwig II's summer family home that he lived in while he was overseeing the construction of his castle, Neuschwanstein. The Neuschwanstein castle is the most popular castle in Germany and Walt Disney used that castle as inspiration for his Cinderella castle.
Our first glimpse of the Neuschwanstein castle.

We stayed at the Schlosselhotel Lisl and they gave us free tickets to the Bavarian Kings Museum. The museum gave us great back history before we went on the castle tours. We also visited Swan Lake that had the Austrian Alps in the back ground.
We ate dinner and then went and relaxed in our room since it had started to rain. We just stared at the view of the castle.
Tomorrow we go on a tour of each of the castles.
