LOST! Near Mad King Ludwig's Neuschwanstein Castle

Arrived late in Munich from Croatia at sunset . . . Avis computers down . . . no maps . . . brand new car . . . gear shift for Edmundo to master . . . we head south but somehow find ourselves west! 


My iPhone GPS to the rescue, but we have to re-trace our steps on narrow 'regional' roads where directions signs are small and not luminescent . . . I still have my 'reading' glasses only and am no help at all . . . very dark night. 


. . . eventually we arrive at our chalet hotel . . . with castle floodlit on the mountain outside our windows. . . .  dining room closed at 9pm and it is now past 10pm . . . but we negotiate ham and cheese with a glass of wine . . . bed beckons . . . tomorrow is another day!
How can a man sleep with cows moo-ing outside his window so early on a rainy morning? Neuschwanstein Castle is across the grass on the mountain-side in the top left. A photo from my iPhone.
