THE Castle! - Neuschwanstein!!!
December 16, 2008
My ticket to Neuschwanstein!
The real entry date for this journal entry should be May 20, 2005
The main reason we decided on taking this first tour was the fact that it would take us to
So postcards were a mandatory here. I had to get several, both summer and winter, inside and out.
And I even found a nice little miniature to bring home too. It takes a small votive candle inside to light up the windows. I have a collection of miniature fantasy castles to add it to.
Because they didn't allow photos in the castle I also purchased the large photo book of the castle entitled "The Royal Castle of Neuschwanstein". The original photos were taken by Klaus and Wilhelm Kienberger. I have taken photos of the wonderful pictures in the book and included them here.
