Fussen, Germany

This was the last stop on our drive. We got there and stayed 2 days. It was so neat. Fussen is where King Ludwig was he was king and the Bavarian people did not think that he cared enough for his country that he was to interested in the "arts" and opera's so they claimed he was mentally ill and had him sent to prison while they waited on what to do about him. Mysteriously they found him and his doctor floating dead in a lake. He only lived in the castle for 114 days and didn't get any of the 2nd floor done or his throne finished. King Ludwig's father's castle is right below his. And the views are beautiful! This is where Walt Disney got Cinderella's castle from. Addison couldn't wait to see it. She was so excited to go to the castle and kept looking and pointing and jumping. The castle inside was amazing. You got to see where he slept and the kitchen and the servants quarters. Fussen is a cute little town. King Ludwig's father's castle is right below his. And the views are beautiful!
