Live loose, don't lose!

06/06
We decided to go to Neuschwanstein (new swam castle in German) on the returning train last night so I woke up really early this morning.

I missed a trolley so I thought maybe walking will be faster and I ended up getting lost a little bit; luckily the tallest church in Europe helps in finding directions every time so I made it just in time while two people seem to be still sleeping........whatever~”~



There was a delay of our first train so the connecting train was gone when we arrived at the intermediate station so we had no choice but to wait another hour.

Luckily things here are not expensive so we bought some food and drink during this interval. Then it’s time to visit the swam castle”s”. Yes there’s an old one and a new one (Scholoss Hohenschwangau means the old swam castle and Neuschwanstein means the new swam castle in German.)

Of course the new one is more famous since it’s the raw model of Disney castle and I have to say it looks really AMAZING! But actually it’s kind of empty inside its beautiful outlook since the king passed away and the decoration and painting inside the castle was never completed. The old one, on the contrary, has modest appearance but is rich inside.



Hmm...............Three quite notes:

1.Actually the best place to watch the new swam castle is from the drawbridge on the hill behind the castle while it’s free.

2. Only guided tour is allowed while photo taking is prohibited in both of the two casltes, but yes you can take pictures from the windows and there’s a good view............while the entrance fee is kind of expensive.....:(

3. The closer you are to the castle, the cheaper the souvenirs are and the ones sold in the castle have a special postmark on them. Oh..........did I mention that it’s kind of a hiking trip if you don’t take the carriage? :P

We went home in the evening with countless pictures of these two historical and beautiful castles.

Logging onto Facebook, there are so many pictures posted by everyone: Taiwan magic association, said to be the biggest one ever this year, pictures of graduation ceremony and the prom...............

Hmm........I truly want to be part of that but I did enjoy everything here...........both of them are like opportunities that are once in life. Since I’m already here..............anyways.........it’s not the first day I go astray so just keep on going. Be strong, Derrick!

一大早就起床，挑戰後發現走路沒有比搭車快多少，比較累倒是真的；

第一輛火車慢分於是我們得多等一個小時，好險這里的東西還蠻便宜的，買完補給品之後就前進新天鵝堡嚕！

票實在是有夠貴的，舊天鵝堡外觀頗遜不過新天鵝堡裡面還沒整修完可以說是空有其表，但是從外面看真的好漂亮!!

回家上FB看到好多新照片；TMA、畢業典禮&舞會............hmm.........I go astray..... 堅持下去!
