Linderhof Castle

A trip to Germany wouldn't be complete without visiting a few castles. We decided to visit Linderhof first, I had been here before but was surprised to see how different it looked cover in snow. This castle is quite famous for its beautiful grounds. This is what I remembered it to look like...



And here it is covered in snow...




As the picture shows, covered with snow is not the best time to visit this castle. The little wood boxes you can see behind me and Greg are statues, they cover them in the winter time to keep them from getting damaged. We did however go inside this castle. The castle may be little but no expense was spared inside. Linderhof was the summer castle for King Ludwig, but they say he spent most of his time here because he loved it so much. During the tour inside you are not supposed to take any pictures, but, yes Greg snuck one...



Not the best picture since it was shot from the hip in secret, but it does give you a little taste of how ornate the inside is. (this was not the most ornate room we saw there)

On the grounds there is also a man made grotto, kinda wierd but cool!



Thanks Miranda and Ian for taking us to this castle even though it was a little boring for you guys!! (espicially Ian)
