Shot taken on 28th June – third day of our vacation.
Our first stop for the day was this castle. This is one of the shots I took of it. It is situated on top of a steep hill and we had to take a shuttle bus up to its entrance. Those who had a lot of time on their hands trekked their way up. Taking photographs inside the castle was not allowed. I took this shot while having a coffee at the outside caterers on the castle premises.
This castle – the 3rd version on the site - was constructed for King Frederick William IV of Prussia between 1846 and 1867. The castle was built as a family memorial, thus, no member of the Hohenzollern family was in permanent or regular residence when it was completed.
Joke: One night, three bats made a bet on who could drink the most blood.
The first bat comes home with blood dripping off his fangs. He says, "See that castle over there? I drank the blood of three people."
The second bat returns with blood around his mouth. He says, "See that castle over there? I drank the blood of five people."
The third bat comes back covered in blood. He says, "See that castle over there?" The other bats nod. "Well," says the third bat, "I didn't."
Many thanks for looking and for the lovely comments on yesterday's picture.
