We took one day to visit Neuschwanstein Castle (the inspiration for Cinderella's castle)... but it would mean that we would have to climb up the icy mountain....



Our ticket to the castle...



The road up to the castle was very steep and icy... so we took a short carriage ride up the mountain. Wallace Got to ride up in the cold seat next to the driver!



Dee with the horses!



The view of the base of the castle



What we saw as we entered the front gate



We made it! The great reward for the cold journey up the mountain!

A picture with with our little buddy Elyse. We were only able to visit this little German villiage one evening (as we traveled to the airport) but it quickly became one of our favorite places in Germany.
