Linderhof Palace & Ettal Abbey

The adventures continued in Germany with a visit to the beautiful Linderhof Palace, built again by King Ludwig II of Bavaria. It was a cloudy day but we still managed to have a nice visit in the gardens and take some pretty pictures by the many fountains. We didn't actually tour the inside of the palace but wandered the gardens and really enjoyed the pretty views.



And, my favorite picture, of my girls with the palace in the background.


Afterwards, we stopped by Ettal Abbey, a Benedictine monastery close-by. About 50 monks live there and run a boarding school, a brewery, a distillery, a bookstore and a hotel. Wayne bought some monk beer to try and we got a few pictures of the inside of the Abbey.


After our busy morning, we found a fun German restaurant to have lunch at...Lyla loved the pickled cabbage...and then it was off to the pool for some swimming and fun!
