Spent most of Sunday at Lindorf Palace, built by Ludwig II in a grand french rocco style and now a well preserved and presented national treasure. Both the palace and its grounds are indeed very 'wunderbar' and the guided tour of the palace, which is quite small, was interesting. No photographs allowed inside but plenty to photograph outside as it is in a wonderful setting in the German Alps (its only a few miles to the Austrian border). We shared a 'Bayernteller' for Sunday lunch which comprised a selection of typical local dishes on a plate, served by the German equivalent of Manuel from Faulty Towers. It also came with a complimentary 'silly' Bavarian felt hat which Rosemary refuses to wear as yet. There is still some snow on the mountains and the lush green meadows are carpeted in wild flowers.
On leaving we drove a little further south to the ski resort and gateway to the German Alps of Garmish-Parmitschen and to Omerammergau of passion play fame. The former was very busy with weekend cars and motorbikes returning from Austria to join the Munich bound motorway. The delay caused us to get caught in a thunder storm as we were heading for our overnight stay in a big 'Camper's Stop' at Fussen.
Quite a long tiring day but well worth it.
