Neuschwanstein Castle

We went to Neuschwanstein Castle today. It was the home of King Ludwig the II. He died along with his personal physician in a lake here in Bavaria under mysterious circumstances. His castle was never finished, but what parts were finished were very impressive, including a room dedicated to operas, specifically for Wagner. It was a great tour for the kids, and the first time everyone in the family (minus me) saw the Alps. Really nice coutry this Germany - so clean!
