INNSBRUCK, FÜSSEN & NEUSCHWANSTEIN

5/9/08 - 6/9/08
Innsbruck was our first stop on are romantic Alpine Adventure and we were not only lucky to have the beautiful colours of Herbst but a few days of cold weather meant all the mountain tops were covered in snow.
The very blue water of the River Inn.The Golden Roof built in 1420 by Frederick IV.
People enjoying the sun at the main street cafes.Swarovski store Snow display......looking in the cupboard at at some pretty sparkling things including a beautiful pair of Cristal covered Jimmy Choo shoes.
A Cristal chair....Triumphal Arch...
A relaxing stroll in the Imperial Gardens....were every one was enjoying the sun.
Photo stop at a road side river.Then on to the beautiful little colourful town of Füssen were we spent a night at the Zum Hechten Schloss Gasthof.

Photo taking on the bridge...
Neuschwanstein...the perfect time of year for at trip to the castle with the beautiful colours of Autumn.
We took a carriage ride to the top of the hill with a very flatulent horse.View from the Castle
Unfortunately the outer walls of the castle were in the middle of construction and covered in scaffolding which does not make for the best photo. Neuschwanstein castle was never finished being built after the death of the Crazy King Ludwig II drowned under suspicious circumstances....he only spent 3 months at his new castle before his death.Alpsee the lake at the base of the castels
The smaller castel Hohenschwangau...
