Castles and Forests



Today we started off by seeing the castle that inspired the Disney castle that is in Euro Disney. It is weird to think we were just there. The  Neuwinstein castle is a terrific sight standing at 65 meters tall. We found this out on a cool forest walk we did soon after lunch. We also did an awesome tree top walk. While we were doing this Alyssa asked if the playground was was here and if the tree top walk was by the playground, this got met with a lot of mocking and embarrassment. After our awesome walks we went to get dinner. We went to a cool German pub and ordered our food with only a little bit of trouble. Mum and Dad got a pizza covered in spicy peppers and pepperoni, and a vege burger. You might be able to guess who got what. Alyssa and I ordered a currywurst each. When it came time to get our dinner Mum and Dad got their meals while Alyssa and I got kept waiting for a bit. When our dinner got brought out it wasn't what we ordered. We didn't want to be rude so we were about to eat it when Dad saw the price and told us to stop immediately. Like a real saver. Mum then did the honors of telling the waiter he messed up and what we actually ordered. He looked irked. I used a thesaurus again. That means annoyed for any non thesaurus folks out there. He then returned to us with our correct meal and stayed away from us for the remainder of the night. He then got in a few arguments with who we think was the owner of the restraunt. Every time anyone from the staff came past us it was complete awkwardness. After paying the bill the waiter came me a bit of a lecture on how to order properly. This was useless in many ways because I don't speak German and I know how to order. 

That was our day and dinner fiasco. Not as good as last night's sausage though.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I love the outdoors and one of my favourite places to be is in a forest. So today was me in my element. Visiting Neuschwanstein Castle involved a stunning forest walk. After checking out the famous castles we went to Auwaldpfad where there was a tree top walk that crossed into Austria and a forest walk with fun interactive activities. 30,000 steps walked today and my heart is happy. Today I feel incredibly grateful and blessed that we have been able to do this trip.

  1. Max I find it hard to believe you'd all mock or embarrass Alyssa 😘 What lovely scenery you've walked through. Did the waiter chastise you in German? 🙄 Lucky it fell on non - comprehending ears 😂😂

  4. Max, I hope you replied to the waiter with a “I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request” when he started telling how to order!!
