Neuschwanstein, Hirzing and birthday - Germany part 3

Following our sightseeing in Munich we headed towards the Alps with Caro, Christian and Franziska to the Edwin's place in Kempten for the weekend. They had sent us a booklet as a wedding gift they made with three sightseeing choices, one of which we could do when we would come to germany. So of course we used this voucher and chose a trip to Neuschwanstein - a famous castle that king Ludwig built. Unfortunately the sunday was one of two days where the weather wasn't that good (the second day was when we were in Berlin later on) and so we spent the day inside playing cards and chatting. Still a really nice day and actually quite nice to relax rather than be out and about all the time.



Following the week in Kempten with the Auer's we then spent another few days in Hirzing with mum's parents. One of those days we spent walking through a wildlife park. A lot of the enclosures you could walk right through. The wolves and brown bear enclosures you weren't allowed to walk through though! And only two of the animals were hiding from us but we saw lots and it took almost 4 hours to walk through it! The possum like creature is a Mader which is a pest in germany as they chew through radiator hoses in winter - probably Beck's favourite animal in the park.




We had a nice breakfast (not that we didn't have nice breakfasts anyway every morning! - but) as it was my birthday at Hirzing and then drove to Munich. Had a little bit of snow in hirzing on my birthday and then again the next morning in Munich (photo is of wad-wad oma and opa's garden in munich). Once hirzing oma and opa dropped us off in Munich we went to the 'human and nature' museum in munich with my aunty and uncle and kids before all of dad's family went out for a birthday as well as early leaving dinner that night.
