Neuschuanstein Castle.and Munich

Friday June 17, 2011                                             Day 352
We rose for an early breakfast and went to Brennan’s room for some face time with him while Ronnie and Shelli had their own breakfast. Then we left for the train station along with Brennan, Ronnie, Shelli, Pam and Kathy, and headed for a day trip to Füssen and Neuschuanstein Castle.

Mad King Ludwig II had real notions of grandeur and was building himself a fairy-tale castle when his minions declared him mentally incompetent to rule. He died under mysterious circumstances, supposedly drowned in a lake along with his psychiatrist.

Ronnie, Shelli and Brennan
 


Brennan did quite well for most of the trip, getting cranky only a couple of times. Indeed, he has done very well for all the trip, according to Shelli and Ronnie. He is now quite the cosmopolitan traveler!


We ate dinner at a German restaurant around the corner from our hotel. The food was very good, and the restaurant surprisingly empty for a Friday night. We had no trouble getting a table and had plenty of room for Brennan’s stroller. Ronnie propped him into a high chair and he sat up for the entirety of the meal, doing very well with it.
