Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland

7/12/11:  What a crazy last few days!  We've been to three different countries and the trip keeps getting better.  On Saturday, we experienced the culture of Munich while taking in the sights from a tour guide.  On Sunday, we traveled to Italy, making a few stops in Innsburk, Austria and at the castle that was the inspiration of Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty, Neuschwanstein. Neuschwanstein was the castle that Ludwig II lived in for a mere 176 days before he mysteriously drown in a lake near the castle.  We were able to walk throughout the castle and see rooms like the King's chamber and kitchen.  It was amazing to think we walked in the same halls of Ludwig!!

After the castle we finally arrived in Venice.  The city was full of history and was so beautiful to walk through.  Some of the girls experienced a gondola ride through the canals.  It was a wonderful, but very HOT experience.  After a long day of touring St. Martin's Square, museums and shops it was time for a nice evening on the Mediterranean Sea Beach."

Can't wait to see what the next few days are going to bring us!!!
