Munich Day 3 (Amber)

We got up early this morning to head up to one of the most visited tourist attractions in Munich although I wouldn't really say it is in Munich as it was a 2 hour train ride to get there. Our destination, the neuschwanstein palace which will from now on in this entry be referred to as the palace. We decided that becAuse the palace was so far away to take a tour so we didn't have to figure out how to get there. The tour was good although the guide could have been better, I was a little disappointed that he didn't provide the group with more information about the palace or the area he seemed to be more of a babysitter ensuring we got to the palace on time. The palace and sights were beautiful and it truly looked like a fairy tale castle from Cinderella or sleeping beauty. Ludwig II who built the castle was a bachelour and it showed in the décor which understandably made this trevors favorite palace. The rooms were decorated in dark wood paneling and the lack of floral prints or a womens touch which I must agree was refreshing.

After we got back to Munich we booked our hotel for Zurich and Venice and then headed to the movie cafe so I could get some popcorn which I crave almost daily. While we ate our popcorn and other north American appetizers (nachos and wings) this little yorkie wandered into the cafe and ate popcorn off the floor while his owner sat outside unaware of where his dog was. Just goes to show dogs in Europe are a) better trained and b) allowed to go wherever they want without anyone blinking an eye.
