Berlin - Bavaria - Paris - Bastogne - Christmas Markets -- our German vacation was so full of spectacular sites, that I just would not be able to fit it all in one blog!

After the tour. We exited the other side of the castle...through a cavelike tunnel. I told J that if my story ended with me dying in a subterranean tunnel in the bowels of a gorgeous castle in Germany...that would be epic! Way better than in a nursing home in podunk, USA! lol!

Spectacular!
Those castles are absolutely breathtaking, as well as the views of the valley. I can only imagine how surreal the whole experience was and how sad it had to be to leave. Too bad you weren't allowed to take pictures of the inside of the castle. I would've loved to see them. It would be hard to travel all that way only to have such a short amount of time to actually soak in everything it had to offer. Thanks for writing the experience and sharing the pictures. They were so pretty. Oh, and the car...so cute! :)
