Oh my!! This pillow fight was hilarious! So some of the aupairs are couch surfers and we decided to check out this event and it was amazing!!! Haha. We all met up along the lake near Bellevue and spread out throughout the crowd. Then one girl approached another guy and they started having a fight, people start wondering what is going on. Then out of nowhere this gal takes a pillow out of her bag and starts walloping this guy and then 40 people run out of the crowd and all start fighting, feathers flying and people thinking . . . ???? Haha, absolutely great! We did clean up the mess though! ;-)
Hahah, we seriously look like monkeys here. Picking out feathers!
Clean up was intense!!! We used the pillows which survived to "sweep" the feathers into piles and then bagged them . . . still looked like birds were sacrificed . . .

Hehe, Teresa and Jason. We met Jason at this event and he has been traveling for two years as a couch surfer in Europe and due to his grandfather being Swiss, he is now in the Swiss army which is mandatory for all young Swiss men. Hahha, and we had to hide the pillows as we were walking to Bellevue! Snagged a few from the "brokenhaus" (thrift store) in Zurich.
Love us! 
Just before touring the castle!
HAHAHAHA!
Hohenschwangau castle which was the family's private resdience. Ludwig grew up in this house and when he was older he decided to build Neuschwanstein castle nearby (within walking distance) and only lived in the Neuschwanstein castle a short time before he died beside his doctor. The doctor perscribed him as mentally insane and they both died together in a shallow lake near Munich, Germany. Ludwig was a good swimmer. After his death, the family turned the castle into a museum. It is very extravagent and was his materpiece and dedication to the composer, Wagner. Many of the rooms are painted with scenes from his Operas and there was even a guest room for Wagner's personal use, however he died before the castle was ready. The castle is also only about half finished.
Hohenschwangau! Dani climbing!!
Loved this! Haha, confed/yank chess set in the gift shop
ehehe. Aupairs! Lol, Kate, Kylie, and Allyson! After touring the first castle we sat down, broke out the wine and snacks and enjoyed the sunshine in the castle garden area!
Walking to the Neuschwanstein castle (LONG walk but worth the climb!!)
Nikki, Dani, me, and Allyson
Neuschwanstein! My first glimpse! SOOO gorgeous!
Hahaha, so we were not supposed to take photos, but does that stop me!?! NO!!! So this is the ceiling in the throne room (never any thrones because Ludwig died). The room was modeled after a Bizantine Chapel and breathtaking! The whole castle was breathetaking!!
Where the thrones were intended!
A cave . . . yes there was a cave inside the castle . . . a man made cave . . . maybe the guy was insane, lol, was definitely cool!
Hehe, so here Nikki and are are in the ballroom and after the tourguide left I decided to grab her and we danced a vienese waltz! 
So lovely!
Hehe!
Travel only in the summer, dangerous with snow and about a 3 hour hike. :-)
Love the sign below!
Dani and Nikki and myself decided to walk up to the Marionbridge while the others waited below! It was so worth it because we enjoyed such a lovely sunset!
Neuschwanstein!
Hohenschwangau!
Haha, the car ride back to Zurich was CRAZY! We were so tired, as all day trips are, but we enjoyed the music and created our own little dance club! ;-)
