But I was a man on a mission. As Amy, and most everyone else in our tour group, chose to find warmth and something to eat, I scrambled looking for “that perfect picture”.

Built for Hitler as his 50th birthday gift, this chalet styled building sits high atop the German Alps. I expected more of the building itself actually… but the views from its location were spectacular.

Fred's uncle owns a flat in town at the base of the Neuschwanstein Castle. We stayed there when we went to visit years ago and it is a sight to see. Your pictures are beautiful. Martha
