Germany – day 5

Monday (12/30) we left Austria and started the drive back to Frankfurt. We stopped at the famed Neuschwanstein Castle and couldn’t believe how many people there were… thousands! Luckily we didn’t have time to take a tour, because the line for tickets was at least a quarter mile. We were lucky just to find parking in one of the main lots. Then we hiked up the steep, winding path to the castle.

There were several locations to stop for photos as we hiked.

After seeing as much as we could of the castle, DJ drove us the rest of the way to Frankfurt… at about 170km/hr (105mph) on the autobahn.
