Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

As intimated earlier, I was happy to see the snow. During this fantasy weather, I was fortunate enough to have two generous, knowledgeable and kind guides. They might be reading this, but I'll be no more nice than I would normally have been, obviously.
Bad Tolz is scenic town in the Bavarian style. A style I do indeed like.

Snow in Mittenwald. A pretty little town famous for making musical instruments, especially violins.

This is the fabulous and ludicrous Linderhof, home of the (presumably insane, but certainly obsessed with Louis XIV) King Ludwig II of Bavaria. It strikes me very much as the German equivalent of the Brighton Pavilion. Inside was tribute after tribute to the long gone court of the Bourbons.



Fairytale stuff, non?
