Disneyland castle.

I lazy to write the whole name but it's called Neu schwein stein Castle (something like that). Ie the Disneyland castle. The ride there was great because you get to see the countryside of Germany, a lot of greens and solar power.  View is magnificent I would say esp when you are reaching the destination cos you get to see the Alps in the background.

Made friends with this Chinese couple mainly cos they cannot communicate in English fluently so I became the intermediary between the guide and them.  I didn't really mind (Avenue to meet new ppl). It was also nice that the guy runs (and asked me to join a run when he stays in Chengdu). I would go if there are ppl going with me.

The view from the castle and the Marion Bridge was spectacular. I think the green plains and the blue skies helped Alot. It's like a castle on top of a mountain among kampung kampung, no cities/towns nearby. The inside of the building was fantastic, better than the Residenz. The rooms were more beautifully designed and more elegant. Even the Servant's quarter got window to look out to a corridor, which has windows to look into the greeneries. The inside tour was really short. Couldn't really peek into the life or the feel of the building when it was used back then.

On the way back to munich, our guide,  Carlotta (charlotte) explained that the death of Ludwig was suspicious. It was claimed the parliament wanted to overthrow him and so they schemed with the doctors to try to declare Ludwig unfit to be a king. Ludwig tried to run away by boat but was suspected to be shot dead (instead of what they claimed as he drowned in the water after killing the doctor who walked with him). The day he died, the guards were asked not to follow him to the lake. Only the doctor was with him. The official account said the doctor tried to stop Ludwig from committing suicide but failed to do so. Unofficial story was that on that day Ludwig tried to flee by boat but was caught by the parliament and shot in a hut. The hut was taken off the next day. The doctor was believed to be killed after Ludwig because of the predicaments that he could be a witness etc. The guards of the castle sworn not to mention anything about the day Ludwig died till death. One of them beh tahan and told his daughter that gun shots were heard on that day.
