    Traveled from Bavaria to Austria with its beautiful mountain peaks and meadows. Got our steps in walking up to tour the famous Neuschwanstein Castle and back down again where we had a picnic by the lake. Had a crack at riding the "luge" where Peter our driver showed that his impressive driving skills weren't limited to only a bus, and ended our time in these beautiful surroundings with a fun group dinner. Ate some schnitzel and sampled the local schnapps (the pine flavor was our favorite!) but the best part was being serenaded by the dynamic polka duo of Gary and Frank. Trust us: if you've never heard some John Denver polka style you're missing out!
