Mom is visiting right now (Dad to arrive a bit later) so we decided to head off to Füssen and see “mad” King Ludvig’s Castle, the original upon which Walt Disney based the one at Disneyland. Though it had be beautiful weather all the previous week, we had a nice rain storm for our trip out there.
Unfortunately, due to some misunderstandings and bad decisions, we ended up missing our tour of the inside of the castle. <sigh> The kids still had a good time hiking around, though, so perhaps it wasn’t all bad. They probably would have had less fun wandering through the inside rooms.
On our second day, we went into Füssen and wandered around the old-town there, took an hour tour around the city, and then went for lunch before taking Camille back for her nap.
I took Christophe down to the local lake front during this time and played. It’s a nice area with some swings and a sandbox. There were a few people swimming, too, but we didn’t have our suits on so didn’t join in.
They had a big public chess-board so I taught him how to play. I don’t really expect him to remember, but he had fun.
On our last day, which of course was the only really sunny day, we just went to the local lake front again for swimming and playing in the park until it was time to depart for home.
