Day Forty-Six: Cinderella Castle IRL

7/31/15, 11:59 PM CET

Remember Ludwig from yesterday? Apparently he's the real life equivalent of Cinderella.

Bippity Boppity Boo, bitches.

Yes, the palace we saw the day before was impressive. But he built TWO MORE, and one in particular, Neuschwanstein Castle, happened to be so magnificent that a Mr. Walt Disney, upon seeing it during a visit in Germany, decided it would be perfect to house a certain blue-dressed princess.

You can really see the resemblance from the front...

You can almost imagine the Tinkerbell farts flying over it.

Yes, Joby did enjoy it.

...But not so much from the side.

Looks like Cinderella kinda let herself and her castle go...

We toured the other two castles that Ludwig II built, but since no pictures were allowed inside either castle, I only got exteriors. I know, it's pretty lame.

This was in a different castle. Not Cinderella related, but another of
Ludwig's crazy builds.

Cinderella? Or Castlevania? BOOM.


Oh and outside of Cinderella's castle, we found this guy, who played a weird traditional instrument called a "Hurdy-Gurdy. I very much so liked it, so I recorded two of his songs for your listening pleasure.










RFotD: The Hurdy Gurdy man's name was Kay.
