Snow White’s Castle



Princesses outside the castle!



Neuschwanstein Castle

Along the way we stopped for a night in a small village near King Ludwig’s’ Castle (Neuweistein??), in a guesthouse/B &B where thankfully the waiter spoke English and we found out the German word for BIN, which is Mulltonne (bit more difficult for Noah to say so perhaps if we start calling it that he’ll lose interest!).  The room we stayed in had one light so once we put the kids to bed we were stuck in the dark! We tried a couple of times to put the lamp on but it was too bright and caused Amelia to keep poking her head up looking at us with squinty eyes.  But Maciek managed to make me a cup of tea by the light of the bathroom. 



We were up early for breakfast then drove to Fussen to have a look at the castle (we told Amelia that Snow White wasn’t actually there at the time as she was away on her holidays!) and hopped onto a horse and cart to take us up, where we sat opposite a couple from Texas (he he – I won’t explain further as those of you who have met American’s on your travels will know exactly where I’m coming from! – Bless ‘em) and – A COUPLE FROM JOONDANNA AND HER MUM IS FROM DUNCRAIG!!  It’s a small world, it was nice to hear the accents, even the Texan’s, at least we could have a conversation!
