Bavaria

We recently spent four days in Munich and vicinity. The highlights were the Bavarian Alps (snow capped and spectacular), the many castles, the Christmas markets, the walking tours of the city and the 'hearty' food and 'yummy' desserts.

Here are some of the highlights:



Christmas market in Marienplatz



Old Town Hall and Glockenspiel



In front of Hofbrauhaus, the world's most famous pub.



Neuschwanstein castle (the inspiration for Disneyland's castle)



From another angle. The inside is also spectacular - the view from each window is even more spectacular than the view from the last.



Maddie and Isabelle enjoyed the snow.


The Girls in front of Linderhof castle.



Isabelle on the way to Linderhof castle (she thinks she's such a big girl).



One of the shopping centers near Marienplatz had Star Wars characters made from Legos.


All warm and cozy and ready to explore.
Ally couldn't get enough of this shop that sold nothing but felt. I think it was her favourite part of the trip.
