Linderhof Castle

This morning we work up to snow.  We went from 80 degrees in Legoland to snow five days later!!  This is another castle built by Ludwig II of Bavaria.  He is referred to as Crazy King Ludwig since he commissioned 4 castles in the area.  This is the only one that was completed.  It was also the smallest.  However, it had beautiful gardens surrounding it.  Well I am sure they would have been beautiful later in spring with flowers.  The snow did add a magical quality to the place!!  King Ludwig also had a grotte made in the back.  He pretended to ride in a boat and had shows performed inside!  I wonder if this is where Hef got the idea for his!  The girls were unimpressed and asked to see real stalagmites and stalactites.  I told them with a geologist for a dad, it was bound to happen=) 

The hills are alive!!

 This was a great way to end our trip!  The castle was neat and seeing everything covered with a dusting of snow added to the beauty!  The girls loved playing in it even though we really were not prepared for it!

Thank you Germany for showing us a wonderful time!

You are a beautiful country! 

 I am sure we will be back!!
