Linderhof... the only one of King Ludwig's castles that's finished. P liked it because its the smallest :p until he realised how vast the gardens are...
Linderhof is more a minature palace than castle, very intimate and very gold, very decadent... the grounds are impressive, perfect setting for the fountains and statues. The Venus Grotto was hauntingly pretty and very cold...
We did the long walk to the hunting lodge, covering almost the entire place and came back at the top of the terrace, giving us views of both the front and back of the terrace gardens...
We visited Oberammergau on the way back, a village famed for its navity woodcarving and house-wall murals, called Luftlmalereien, literally "paintings in the air"... I love the Bavarian wall paintings...it adds so much color to both the houses and the streetlife... and its so authentically Bavarian...
