So much for spring in Munich.  Yikes it is like Melbourne's weather here and I am glad I have a couple of warm pieces of clothing.  We headed off to Schloss Neuschwanstein, the fairytale castle in Bavaria. Johannes came with us.  A beautiful drive but unfortunately for my stomach a windy road.  we arrived in the rain but headed off with our coats and raincoats etc.  What a stunning place and I loved seeing it.  You should google it, just gorgeous.  Went down to a little township called Fussen for lunch and it was also lovely.  A beautiful day finished off with taking them out to Indian.
Next day left with Wolfgang this time and drove to Nuremburg.  Had another wonderful day, although I froze once more.  We had a walk around the castle and the gardens.  Funnily enough we arrived at the gardens complete with tulips and other colourful flowers, just when a huge gust of wind and rain came.  We joked it would be a wonderful place for a picnic, but next time.  We ended off the day with us trying the jagermeister and decided it is quite nice and wonderfully warming.
Monika, Werner and Wolfgang wheeled our cases to the train station with us following, it looked very funny.  We said our sad goodbyes and left for Wurzburg.
the hotel we stayed in in wurzburg was literally across the square from the station, so no need to look too hard.  A nice little place with enough noise that we slept the best we have slept so far.
Had a tour around the main site in Wurzburg called "The Residence".  this is a huge building that has the largest fresco in the world depicting the 4 continents they knew about. A very ornately decorated place.  Part of it survived the fires of the second world war.  the gardens were also stunning.  Spent the rest of the day just walking around.  Now in Cologne after 2 trains and a 3 hour journey.
Hopefully I can continue my blog as I seem to have a virus on my laptop.  Here's hoping.
