Do you really need 70 rooms?

This was our last day in Germany. We drove through the Alps to a castle built on an island. This was a spectacular drive! The Alps are beautiful!

Once we arrived. We had to take a boat across a lake. The castle was well worth it! Herrencheimsee was build by King Ludwig II of Bavaria. He set out to build 4 castles. Three were started and only one was completed. This is one was not complete. Only 20 of the 70 rooms were finished. After seeing the castle, I have to wonder what you could possibly have in the other 50 rooms that could not go in the original 20? Guess we will never know.

After leaving Herrencheimsee, we went back to Schleissheim to see the garden.

The time soon came to leave Germany :( So, we caught our overnight train to Rome! This was pretty neat. Our sleeping compartment was tiny (about 4'x6'), we didn't sleep well, and the coffee wasn't worth drinking...but it was an experience!
