We got to the Grossglockner, and woke up to this on the Wednesday morning!

On the Thursday we popped to see Neuschwanstein castle for my birthday. WOW!

That's not me grinning, that's a rictus of fear..........you don't want to know what I was standing on!

Nice bit of twin power to get back down from the castle:D
