In Munich we split in two groups, my dad, grandpa, and Brent went to a different
town to pick up the rental car, and the other four of us went straight to Fussen.
We had no problem finding our hotel and got in early enough to walk around the town.
I ate a really good brat for dinner at a street stand, and then later had a kebab,
also good, about a 7 out of 10.

We got up early today and headed over to the castle to get tickets at 8:00, so that
we could get the first tickets distributed for the 9:00 tour. We began at the smaller,
yellow castle which was impressive, but we all wanted to see the big one. Our tour
guide was good and we finished with enough time to climb to the second castle, Neuschwanstein
on foot.
We went to Marian Bridge and then climbed the rocky cliff beside Neuschwanstein
for some incredible views. We took too long however and had to hurry back in order
to make our assigned tour time. The building is incredible, and a couple rooms are
amazing. The final room, with a balcony, painted ceilings, and an incredibly detailed
design was the best. After seeing this castle, perhaps the world's most iconic castle
I had no motivation to ever see a castle again.
