Had a transit day, drove from Zermatt, drove our car on a train ferry that took us through the mountain for about 20 minutes, up and over another pass and ended up in Singen, Germany where we spent the night. The next day we drove to Friedrichstien where we went through the Zepplin Museum then onto Fussen where Amy and I went through Neuschwanstein Castle. This was one of the palaces of King Ludwig, who was a bit of a funny king. He built quite a few castles, died at 40 in mysterious circumstances, after being told that he was no longer considered suitable to rule Austria but he certainly knew how to spend money on castles. This was not completed but the rooms that were were incredible. We had to wait about 2 hours for our tour, but it was certainly worth it. We filled in time buying souvineers, eating pretzles,cream cheese puff balls, hungarian goulash and reading up about the castle. The Disneyland Fantasyland castle was modelled on this one.
After that Amy navigated us to the Holiday Inn in Munich, we managed to get our little Fiat Panda up to 155kph on the Autobahn, even then some cars where whizzing past us and Simon informed us he got his car up to 220kph!
