I spent some time
re-organising things in the car before we left, which meant that we
didn't get away until after 9.30am. The morning went smoothly enough
after that and we were very pleased when, around lunch time, Sally
informed us that there was a shopping centre just off the motorway.
We quickly grabbed some provisions, including a lovely rotisserie
chicken from a little grill restaurant in the car park, and the girls
had a jump around in a bouncy castle in Haribo Land, which is
apparently located in middle-of-nowhere Gemany
We got back on the
motorway and were just tucking into our salami rolls when the traffic
ground to a halt – the beginning of a couple of hours of
bumper-to-bumper traffic as we made our way through several
kilometres of roadworks.
We lost so much time
to the traffic congestion that it was getting pretty late by the time
we made it to Neuschwanstein Castle, the inspiration for Disneyland's
Sleeping Beauty Castle. As it was five euros just to park our car at
the bottom of the walk up to the castle, and the hour was on the late
side, we decided to forgo an actual visit and instead headed to the
campsite that Sally had pointed out on a lake nearby.
After putting up the
tent, we sat and had a picnic by the lake as the sun went down and
the bats came out to hawk insects over the water
