Friday at Herrenchiemsee

Today our group visited a beautiful castle in which we took various moods of transportation to get to.  We started out our day by arriving at the train station at 8:00 and traveling to a neighboring city.  We then caught the next train that led us into land outside of our recently known land.  From there we travel farther by a small train to a boat dock that would take us to an island where the castle is located. Once we stepped foot on the island we gathered for snacks and then hiked our way up to castle doors. The castle was built by King Ludwig II who ruined the Bavarian economy by spending millions on his extravagant castles. His most famous of three castles inspired Walt Disney's castle at Disney World! We took a tour of many rooms such as the kings bedroom, dressing room, ball room, office and entry room. We  gathered more knowledge about the people and events that occurred during the time of the castle usage.  After we finished our tour, most of us rode back down towards the boat dock by horse carriage. As we waved goodbye to this important piece of history we sailed away back into the surrounding lake. We arrived at our starting location and felt tired from a day of long travels.
