We walked around the München Christkindmarkt (equiv of christmas/weihnachtsmarkt).
We also went to Hofbräuhaus. I ordered my usual Maß Hell (liter of light beer) and Amanda went straight for, and i quote, "Ein Maß Dunkel." She didn't realize what she ordered was a dark beer but she enjoyed it a lot more than the light.
They even had live musik!

The next day we went to Füssen, (a lot of duplication for me this trip, but she wanted to see everything i got to see). This time we went to take the tour of Schloß Hohenschwangau. It belonged to the same King that built Neuschwanstein up the hill, King Luwig II (the one that spent all of Bavaria's finances on building castles and additions to existing 'summer homes' such as Hohenschwangau. The room right above the master bedroom had holes drilled in through the floor and glass rods inserted, so that when servants lit candles upstairs, it looked like stars were shining through the ceiling. He had a study with a telescope pointed straight at the hill Neuschwanstein was being built on. Alas he was deemed clinically insane because of his spending habits and 3 days after he was removed from the throne....... he was found face down in a lake.
My favorite shot of Neuschwanstein
