Castle~~

This week been a busy week for me. Project is improving and need to proceed to the next phase which I am worried about my ability to do it. Kinda pressure for me, hopefully everything went smoothly for me in the future month.

This weekend, I visited Hohenschwangau castle and Neuswchwanstein castle (AKA swan castle). There are total 4 hours train from Regensburg to the Fussen which the two castles loacted. It is a long journey because the time for the train is longer than our visit to the castle. My friends and I kinda unlucky cause we went there and the castle is under construction. There were many many tourists although it is not a public holiday, it just normal weekend. The car park is full of buses and car. The two castles is near to each other but of course is consider far for walking distance. View are very nice and the lake is very very clear.

Alpsee lake is the lake located about 4km southeast of Fussen. The lake is very clear and there is people swimming and there are also people canoeing there. (without edit the tone)
There are some people feed the wild swan there. There were really ugly duckling there. Ugly duckling is the youngster of the white and beautiful swan.

After visit the Hohenschwangau castle, we walked to the Neuswchwanstein castle. It is a long way to the Neuswchwanstein castle because the castle is located on up the mountain. The total time for reaching the entrance door of the Neuswchwanstein castle is total 45 min of walking. T.T Although just 45 min, it looks like almost 2 hour for me to reach there. Tiring journey as always. From the rest place near the Neuswchwanstein castle, the views from there is very nice. 


After visited the Neuswchwanstein castle, we went to the Mariam bridge which located 20 minute walking distance from the Neuswchwanstein castle. The bridge is crowded with people, it is hardly for people to take photo and move forward and backward. See the picture. But it is worth for pushing around with the people because the view is very very beautiful. We can see Neuswchwanstein castle and a water fall.
Beautiful castle (Neuswchwanstein castle or swan castle)
Yeah.. ^_^
The water-fall..... 

After this Fussen trip, I think we might rest for one or two week and collect money for the Italy trip which will be held on End of September. I am thinking of visiting Rome and Venice. Maybe France as well (Not very confirm yet for the France cause of the budget problem). Hopefully, we will have enough money for the big trip. ^_^ .....                                                                          Stay Tune...
