RECAP 2011 - Munich - The Magical Neuschwanstein Castle

A trip to Munich cannot exlude the all important trip to the famous ' Neuschwanstein Castle' (unless your trip to Munich is all about getting drunk). The journey took around and hour and we decided to join a tour group/guide (but still using public transport). The castle (or castles) were commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner...he was known as a reclusive/a little crazy and till today there is mystery surrounding how he died. It was a great day out seeing the castle that Disney has used to create all its castles.

We arrived in the town of Fussen and took a short bus ride to the village of Hohenschwangau where the castle is located.
