Hello, again.
So, my first day in Munich...
After reaching the hotel and adjusting ourselves in there, we went for the city hop-on-hop-off tour.

The hop-on-hop-off tour is a very good idea. You hop on a bus, listen to live or recorded commentary, hop off if you want at a stop of your choice. This is available in most of Europe's big cities.
Then, after nightfall, that is about 9 or 9:30 pm, we went to dine in a pizzeria (also across the street). I practically "fell" asleep after coming back.
The reason for that is no rest for about 42 hours, with my body operating on a false indication of energy, fueled by five black coffees. Remember I woke up in Bangalore at 6:45 am on 27 May? Well, I slept at about 10:00 pm in Munich on 28 May, local time.
More importantly, the coffees were awesome, like the film I watched on the way to Abu Dhabi - Kung Fu Panda 3!
In the second day in Bavaria, we went to the famous Royal Castles tour. The first stop was Linderhof - built by the controversial fairy tale king - Ludwig II.
Inspired by the Palace of Versailles, this is a very beautiful and small (to be a typical king's favorite residence) structure.

The second, Neuschwanstein, literally meaning New Swan Stone, has probably inspired the Disney castle! It looks as if it's a materialisation of a fairy tale, and has, in fact, been inspired by the tales sung by Wagner.

An interesting fact is that the castle was never completed......
So, farewell.....temporarily, until the next post!
I doubt the coffees could be as awesome as KP3, but what do i know of European coffees, eh? The castle is really pretty. But which cake are you talking about?
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out....I'm not an expert with the touch-sense/Swype keyboard thingy. It's supposed to be "castle".
