So yesterday was a relatively quick drive to Austria and then we stayed a place called the Ernberg Hotel. It was a small hotel but I was happy because I had my own bathroom. The town was a picturesque area with very little buildings, a few horses, and giant mountains around it. I think we all liked everything about it except the fact we had to leave at 8am the very next morning for a castle tour and head toward Switzerland. Too early for sure...
The castle tour was awesome though. We saw two. The Schloss Hohenschwangau (yellow) and the Schloss Neuschwanstein (white). Honestly the yellow one was ok. The white one was epic! It was impressive on many levels. Before we entered the white castle we took a small hike to a suspension bridge that me Aaron and Matt climbed past and up higher to take some better pictures. It was awesome though Cherie and Vicki stayed on the bridge to be safer. If you notice the bridge picture, us 3 guys were in the top right compared to where the bridge was. It was scary and awesome because we were so high... My hands were sweating standing up there, but I liked it… J
Matt has some better pictures but here (below) are a few off mine for now...
Other than that we have now met up with Chris and Autumn in Switzerland and just got back from having some food and drinks from a very small bar/restaurant on the town of Lauterbrunnen. The bar reminds us of Bidwell in Coventry... (nothing too fancy but it will fill you up)
Anyways its late here and I will have more pictures and details of how Switzerland is tomorrow. Maybe I’ll get one of the others to post next...
Oh my, those are tremendous views (and photos!). Your view from the hotel is awesome. There's even a waterfall. Sometimes pictures pale in comparison to the real thing. But that view is ethereal. Thanks for sharing words and pix.
ReplyDeleteDido that comment. DUDE, So cool imagine waking up to that each day. Hopefully Nepal has view's like that. I don't think we would have the same luxuries as you do there tho. I guess we will Have to deal with out. Hey guys FYI our unassigned territory trip is doing super well. many great calls and a couple studies. Will tell you about them when you get back.
ReplyDeleteSo Cool!! That's the Castle that Disney modeled his "Magic Kingdom" castle after..(Schloss Neuschwanstein) Markus, Brian & I were there, took a ski lift (small gondola) up to the top of a ski area right near there..(Tegelberg)
ReplyDeleteThat hotel view is amazing!!
I am super impressed! It looks AMAZING! Keep the blog coming, I love it!
ReplyDeletei like the photo of the castle. it looks like the setting to that story about the aristocratic serial killer who murdered young peasant women and then bathed in their blood to retain her waning youth. just guessing here, but i'm assuming nothing that interesting actually took place there? that would be too cool.
ReplyDeleteoh, just saw the comment about the castle being the inspiration for the Disney Castle. So ... then ... i can take that as confirmation that the blood-bathing serial killer did not live there? never thee mind.
