In 1995, my friend Darla and I embarked on, what can only be discribed as a "Whirlwind" tour: Ten countries in eleven days! No, we weren't crazy, we just wanted to get a taste of EVERYTHING! Neither of us had been to the continent before, so we did what we could.

Hohenschwangau

Hohenschwangau is one of the most majestic places on earth in my opinion. Not one, put two castles! The familial Hohenschwangau Castle, radiating its yellow hue atop an emerald hilltop. Familial, because it was the home to King Maximilian II, King Ludwig's father. And across the valley, towering over all, is the gleeming white Neuschwanstein Castle, Ludwig's jewel. The quaint villiage below, has several hotels and eateries. Fun to walk around, with shops and galleries to consume your time. The tour of either castle takes a little time to complete, but are totally worth seeing.
