Neu Auto und Neuschwanstein

So here are some pictures of our new VW Transporter.  It has 9 seats and it is a stick shift.  It's actually quite easy to drive, just tricky to maneuver in tight spaces.  Notice the lights on the roof in the back.  Those are for when we're caravanning with someone they will always know when we're turning.




Just a few days after we got the van we took everybody to see two castles about an hour and a half from Munich.  The more famous one is the Neuschwanstein Castle, the one the Disneyland castle was based on.  It was really amazing!  The castle is so beautiful in its setting and the views all around from it are so great!!  The inside was wonderful too, although not all finished (the king died before he could finish it), but the outside was the best.

The other castle we visited was within view of this one.  It was the royal family home of the prince Ludwig.  When he became King Ludwig he wanted a place of his very own I guess.  It was very interesting but not quite as spectacular as Neuschwanstein.  It's called the Hohenschwangau Castle.
