Happy May Day! Today is a national holiday – actually an international holiday. Most of Europe is celebrating the Day of the Worker (Labor Day), so we decided to put off our castle visits until tomorrow. Yesterday we spent the afternoon at Linderhof, the smallest of King Ludwig’s creations. We will save Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau for tomorrow and hopefully avoid the gigantic busloads of tourists.
We had a quiet day of walking through Oberammergau, a lovely town with many painted buildings. I was surprised to see many shops open – mostly for souvenirs, but still fun to shop around. We even found some things we needed. We enjoyed some Strudel and Kaffee in the afternoon.
After returning to our apartment, we split up into three groups. Andrew and Solveig stayed with Heidi and Jeff to play, play, play. Christian, Carl, Jon Erik, and William went on a 2 ½ hour hike and climbed the mountain in our backyard. Martin and I drove to the Zugspitze. We enjoyed the clear day to see the gorgeous view and Martin hiked around the Eibsee. I got caught up on my journaling. It was very relaxing.
