Paying for toilets in Europe--we at least beat the system one time. We fit all three of us in one bathroom on 1 Euro. Boom. We are that close of friends! The best part was watching other tourists' faces when we exited the bathroom. :)
Fussen is the town where the castle is located. I would love to explore this town more another time.
For dinner, we stopped for a "Doner." Well, it wreaked havoc on my GI system. Even looking at this picture makes me a little queasy. Luckily, I recovered fairly quick and was able to do the hike that gives you the most incredible view of the castle. The hike was an adventure and right up my alley!
The bridge was closed, so hopped the barricade and scrambled up the hill for our view. Worth it.
We chose to catch a later train to do some shopping and dining in Fussen. However, EVERYTHING shut down at 5:00! Whoops! We still found a restaurant that was yummy, but raced the clock for any shopping. The night time was a little more unnerving due to no one was on the streets and we looked extremely touristy (camera bags, souvenirs)--we were sitting ducks at the train station. We waited in a hotel lobby until it was closer for our train to depart. We boarded our train and not one light came on inside the train-I was just waiting for the chainsaw noise to start up! Once we were a few minutes from departure, the lights kicked on and it was smooth sailing until we switched trains. On our new train, a guy ended up getting kicked off after some unsettling conversation with our car. It took all of us awhile to unwind once we were back to the hotel and we double checked our times/safety on public transport for the rest of the trip and we were great. Still, a great day! :)
