European Road Trip - Bavaria (Munich, Fussen, and the Romantische Straße)



We spent the 2 nights at Hotel Rubezahl in the Bavarian town of Fussen. We used this as the base to explore Munich, quaint towns along the Romantic road, and of course to see the castles. Bavaria has absolutely stunning landscapes with Marisa saying that it is the most beautiful. It really is the landscape that inspires fairy tales. The way of life was also so remarkable with 6 to 80 year olds riding their bicycles from town to town. The way of life here is simple and we felt the warmth and happiness right through the stay in Bavaria.

Highlights of the trip were:
- Driving at 170kph on the Autobahn to only see an AMG SL65 speed past me.
- Visiting the outstanding BMW museum and paying homage to the BMW gods
- Standing in awe of the Neuschwanstein Castle that was the inspiration for the sleeping beauty castle
- The eeriness of standing in the gas chamber at Dachau
