Neuschwanstein 1991

May 1991

This gorgeous castle is the one that inspired Walt Disney Worlds Cinderella Castle. He was later known as “Mad” King Ludwig but many question whether or not he was mentally ill or not. He plunged his kingdom into massive debt with his megalomaniac construction projects that still dot the Bavarian countryside today. Sadly he was deposed and found dead in a lake, many question whether or not he was killed or suicide. He only lived in his castle for a short period of time and it still is not finished.

Heidelberg

May 1991

We took a leisurely cruise down the Rhine to Heidelberg. It was beautiful having ein viertel Wein as you pass the green river banks dotted with crumbling castles at the high points.

The castle in Heidelberg

Going out at night, Heidelberg is a University town with a great nightlife scene.
