The statue of dragons being killed is a common motif in the Bavaria region. This is below the famous Glockenspiel (a clock with twirling figures at the Rathaus--city hall.
Sometimes you see statues and wonder why would anyone make that. With this one, I thought how could anyone make that. It's huge and towers over Theresienwiese (a park where Oktoberfest is held).
Oh how long the run must have been for poor Cinderella when she left her shoe at the castle! I told myself I wanted to see this castle and I am so happy that I did. It is exactly what you envision a castle to be like when you're a kid.
The Bavarian Alps are the majestic view given from Neuschwanstein.
A Princess?...Me? oh lets face it, I have always thought myself to be a princess. I try not to act like the stereotypical ones of today, but I still believe I deserve to be treated like a princess. And I am waiting to meet a boy that abliges. This wonderful castle is filled with rooms that attempt to make Wagner's music compositions come to life.
It's been a while since I have written on my blog. And I have to say it has been a while since I have been in Bavaria, but I am still enjoying the memory of the fairy tale land I traveled. Munich was a big city and seemed mixed with the land of Hansel and Gretel and that of modern commercialism. But my journeys there led me to a nice little VISA that makes me legal to study in Austria. Go figure.
Neuschwanstein castle was the highlight of my trip to Bavaria, along with the train ride there: seeing the Austrian Alps up close and personal, and also randomly coming across a beautiful deer in the gardens of Nymphenburg Palace.
Decided on this trip that the only reason nude beaches continue is due to men attempting to keep the tradition going. Walking in the English Garden was a bit of a shock. And I think those living in California and anywhere where surfing is a common practice may find it strange to see a bunch of tourists staring at a group of surfers riding one wave on a river. Watched another clock go round, and little figures turn for 10 minutes, and decided that it is so strange to think that clocks are a tourist attraction. You wait to see time pass you by. I thought that was why you traveled, because you are sick of seeing time pass you by. But I was one of the on lookers and some how managed to take about twenty photos of a clock.
The beer (favorite the Augustiener Dunkel) was amazing along with WeiB Wurst with mustard and a heavy pretzel.
Felt I traveled Bavaria right. Though I came back to Austria a bit tired of traveling.
