March 26, 1999 -- Füssen, Germany

After Rothenburg, we got back on the "Romantic Road" and drove to Füssen, Germany near the Austrian border and the Alps. We visited King Ludwig's castle that afternoon. That night we stayed in the Hotel Sonne in Füssen, where we endured a night of "noise" from a tour bus of Italian youth on tour. Our defense was our TV, turned up as loud as we could :)
