We got up pretty early today to get on the bus to go to the Bavarian Alps. This was our last day in Germany, until we go back to Frankfurt Airport to fly back to the US. Today, we toured the famous Neuschwanstein Castle, Built by King Ludwig II. Walt Disney used this castle as his inspiration for the castles in Disneyland. The castle was so magnificent and gorgeous, but the King was only able to use it for two weeks before he died suddenly. After touring the castle, we took the bus to our second country of Austria. Once we arrived at our hotel in the Tyrol region of Innsbruck, Austria, we got dressed for dinner and then headed off for the "Tyrolean Evening." This was a very enjoyable night, and was very interesting. The performers were presenting us with traditional Austrian dances, yodeling, and performing interesting folk pieces on unorthodox instruments, such as the harp, singing saw, cowbells, and much more. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I truly enjoyed this evening. Also, one of the yodeling ladies made a really funny cow noise.
