Munich to Fussen

Thursday, left Munich on train with a guided tour for the Neuschwanstein Castle toting all our belongings. Unlike rest of group, we were not returning to Munich. Arrived in Fussen, Germany, left bags in train station locker, rode bus through town, saw our hotel smack in middle of town center. Fell in love with Fussen, decided to book room for second night so we could explore.

Fabulous hotel in Fussen

Awesome fountain in city center...uh, right next door!

Toured castle Thursday, rode bobsled (twice it was so much fun) and took tram to peak of Tegelbahn Alp on Friday. Froze butts off on top of mountain. Route bus also doubles as school bus for the little kids there. Kindergartners with bus passes - no fear. So beautiful and scenic.

Neuschwanstein Castle-wind blows like crazy at top of hill!

Had to change floor/room for 2nd night in Fussen hotel, found out later why. Decided to celebrate Krystal's birthday (late) with dinner in our nice hotel resturante. Had bread and first course of soup before the Italian Hell's Angels bikers came in. They had booked the whole floor of rooms we were on the night before. Italian bikers are not much different than AZ bikers. Lot's of kisses, groping, and cheap cologne in that resturante. Atmosphere changed dramatically but food was still great. Left before dessert and walked downtown for gelato.
