Arrived in Munich very early today. Took the shuttle into the old town where there was lots of construction getting ready for Oktoberfest ( putting up bleachers, barriers and banners). Had some lunch on Marienplatz, watched the glockenspiel and then wandered around the cobblestone streets and market.
Driving around Munich was beautiful. Trees and forest everywhere. It was like the city was built in the middle if the forest. We will be back for Oktoberfest in a couple of weeks (after the river cruise)

NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE
A rainy cool morning today as we drove south from Munich to
Neuschwanstein Castle. By the time we got there the sun came out a bit. Here are some photos of the castle and views from the castle. Unfortunately, you can't take any photos inside.
Mary and Norm on the Mary Bridge
The "Mary" Bridge

Lunch in the castle- we got a window seat :-)
......And this was the view
The only way down .... a 20 minute minute walk. And inside the castle we took lots of stairs (200 steps). We got our exercise today!
