I have had the good fortune to travel to Germany on business, first to Dusseldorf for the K2007 plastics show, and then to Markdorf for work.
Today I had the opportunity to travel to see Neuschwanstein castle.
This neo-romanesque style castle was started in 1868 by King Ludwig II, though never finished due to his untimely death at age 41 in 1888.
This Bavarian monument is located on a 200 meter high mountain in the lower Alps.
It was completed in a simplified form in 1892 and then opened to the public.
Both it and the Alps are impressive!
Germany is a wonderful place to visit and highly recommended as a travel destination.
Congrats, I’m jealous!
While you’re there, drop into any respectable looking pub and have a meal of wiener schnitzel and beer for me. Since the beer is quite good, have an extra, just for me. 🙂
