Sarah on the Marienbrücke above Schloss Neuschwanstein. Neuschwanstein framed between the trees. Schloss Hohenschwangau and the surrounding Alps seen from King Ludwigs throne room. Illegal photo of the place where the throne would have gone if it had ever been finished.

Coffee at Tante Gerda's with Bodo. In the evening we went to see the Ludwig II Musical, which was fantastic. The view exiting the theatre; Alps illuminated by a fullish moon, Neuschwanstein on the left and Hohenschwangau on the right. The next morning we went flying - Sarah first.

Off they go! Uta and Sarah return safely to the ground. Then it was my turn to fly.
Here is Neuschwanstein from above.
King Ludwig died before he could start work her on his fourth castle, destined to be even greater than Neuschwanstein.

Landing back in Füssen. We go for a ride on the Tegelberg Rodelbahn. Hey, she's cute!
Sarah, headed back to London on Sunday.
Monday afternoon, Munich's Rathaus, after about eight years I meet up with Jeff, a friend from Napa 4-H.

A storm brewing downtown. Jeff, doing well in Germany, but who isn't when there is applestrudel involved! Tuesday I arrive back home in California. Wow, the US is a big place...
And so it really must all come to an end.
