Yesterday we decided to take advantage of our newly gained freedom (having wheels is awesome!) and decided to drive into the nearby Alps to visit a long time goal: Schloss Neuschwanstein!!!
We spent the night in Garmisch - Partenkirchen and were able to enjoy a beautiful afternoon. This included going on a summer-bobsled ride down a mountain, hiking a narrow, beautifully fierce gorge and having a very tyical dinner with traditional music and dance! Here a few pictures of our trip. We had a blast. Carlo had his first taste of BUTTERMILK and I think the picture says it all!! HAha! I tried to dissuade him, but without hesitation he took a big gulp, only to almost spit it out again. It was unbelievably sour!!! :-(
The pastures were so beautiful with their big brown and white cows, of which many of them wore large bells around their necks... Also, the local farmers were buzzing around like bees trying to move their fragrant summer hay into the barns. The bouquet of hay and mountain herbs was intoxicating!!! Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhl!!
We've had a great weekend and hope you will enjoy the pictures!
