Assalamualaikum...

hellooooooo.....may all of u be in good health & imaaan. Sorry everybody for the long silence! it has been 3 months since we last updated this blog in November 2007.

Well, today after we had our lunch together @ the university, hubby spent around 15 minutes, guiding me to update this blogspot. aha..here we go.

i would like to share our trip to Neuschwanstein Castle on February 16. It was a very smooth journey all the way, i guess most people prefer to rest at home during weekend.

Anyway, we reached Fussen at about 10 am. It was an enjoyable journey indeed (beautiful scenery - alps, lake, countryside view) naik train, tukar train, naik bus..jalan kaki lagi nak ke castle...naaah... the path to the castle took us about 40 minutes walking!

penat jln kaki tu sikit jer, yg geram nyer...asyik kebas kaki sbb sejukkkkk sangat! hubby is all de time busy with his nikon camera while i was left behind (sayang sgt kat camera dia tuuuuu). i've to stop for every 10 minutes - dah kebas kaki jer, so masuk laaa ke souvenir shop to get the warming of heater :D

Neuschwanstein Castle ~~~The Castle of the fairy-tale king~~~

well....in short of Schloss Neuschwanstein --- as I quoted from Wikipedia:
* It is located on a mountain top in Germany, near Hohenschwangau and Füssen in southwest Bavaria.

* The palace was built by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as a homage to Richard Wagner, the King's inspiring muse.

* It is the most photographed building in Germany and is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations.

* The palace was the inspiration for the Cinderella and the Sleeping Beauty fairytale castles in several establishments of Disneyland.

* In 2007, it was a finalist in the selection of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

the outside scenery view of the castle is very impressive. mcm dlm mimpi jek! It is true that King Ludwig II is a great nature lover. panoramic view of alpsse lake, mountain, beautiful castle... alahai, mmg mcm dlm buku walt disney fairy-tale- cinderella, rapunzel, snow white, beauty & the beast..ape lg eek?

The castle is magnificent of course but the most magical part is the setting. the paintings were amazing! betul2 mcm dlm movie... mmmmmm, sayangnyer...kami x leh ambik gambar kat dlm castle....public photography of the interior is not permitted.

If you can go in the winter, do so. yg penting kene tahan sejuuukkk. The mountains are so stunning and the castle so well situated, that we will want to go back again and again. - thats the story of enchanted Neuschwanstein castle!

well, i need to pen off now. lps ni nak gi supermarket dgn hubby.. sayur dlm freeze pun dah hampir habis.

ok, wishing u a happy weekend -i hope that you all had a great time with your loved ones!
