So the weather looks awful for the next week or more. We saw a nice day on Thursday, so I took off to go see castles. Don't worry, I have a deadline next week and I will be plenty busy this weekend trying to get ready...
We went down to Hohenzollern, which is about an hour away. A lot of kaisers lived here, but I don't really know because the tour was in German. A nice crown and lots of good armor on display, plus some good rooms to see. I found out today that the family still lives occasionally in part of the castle. Externally, the castle was pretty neat as it would be impossible to assault I would imagine. Luckily, the bus was running so it was pretty easy to get to.
Then we tried to get to Hohen Urauch. We started up the trail, but we must have taken a wrong turn. We turned back after about a mile, but never made it up. Plus, Ellie had a little accident because we did not have three dimes to open the toilet in the little bar at the base of the mountain. Silly Germans and their pay toilets.
Then we headed to Burg Hoen Teck. Again, they don't have a road up to the top that you can drive, so we just had to take some photos. That was a neat one because we saw five hot air ballons lifting off over the Schwabish Alps. But again, we missed out on exploring the castle as it was getting late.
And we were planning to hit Neidlingen as well. 1/4 accomplished, 3/4 seen. No too bad, but we could have done better. Not awful for a quick afternoon.
Herrnbräu Hefe Weißbier Dunkel - Andi says "Nice". I like it a good bit as well. Solid for a dark wheat beer. I think this is from near Munich.
Altmühltaler Hell - Forgot to review this one, but I don't think it was memorable.
I also found some pics from older beers I never posted. I will try to list them and something if I remember what they were...
