Marostica

This is a walled city with a castle at the top and a castle at the bottom. This is a view from the highway.

This is one of the towers at the end of the wall.

The town is known for a live chess game (like Harry Potter-Wizard's chess). If you look closely you can see the chess board. The show is only in September every even year. 2012 here we come. The tickets are super expensive, about 80.00 a ticket.

This is one of the castles at the bottom where all the shops are.

The town is also know for cherries. We stopped at this little store and bought some chocolate covered cherries. Matt was in heaven.

This is a cherry vineyard. We stopped at this roadside stand and bought some cherries. We bought a kilo and it only cost 4 euro which is about 4.75 to 5.00. The guy that sold them had a button up shirt that was unbuttoned half way down his belly. Gross. And he was old.

You can see he filled that whole bag.

Nove

This entire town makes Ceramics. Everyone makes all different kinds, plates, bowls, vases, mugs, pizza plates. This is the front of the VBC, a store that everyone loves.

All the ceramics in the store.

This is a staged area. So you can see how everything will sit out.

We've bought a few serving bowls and plates and love, love them. They are some beautiful pieces.

Military Ball and Sightseeing

The Edelweiss Resort where we stayed. It had a spa and pool down stairs. We went swimming and hot tubbing after the ball.

Matt and I at the ball. You can't see my dress, but it's a big puffy ball gown.

The town of Oberammergau. They are know for their wood carving and The PassionPlay. They have some beautiful Nativity Set and Candle Pyramids.

A croissants that I had. German ones are the best, better than French or Italian. Theirs are too sweet.

We walked through this fair in Garmisch. We bought the croissant and brats here. They had laderhosen. It was really expensive clothing. Like 200 euros, which it about 350.00 dollars.
The brat I bought. It was so good. I did not want to share.

Humpty dumpty. The store behind Matt, was full of wood carved humpty dumptys. It was crazy creepy. Stalkerish creepy.

King Ludwig II palace. Sorry I didn't get a closer picture. It was beautiful. He was so full of himself. He had mirrors everywhere, so he can look at himself, all over his home. Everything was gold plated, doors, walls, scones, and chandeliers.

We had a so much fun in Germany. It was beautiful. The sky the weather the Bavaria food, it was all wonderful.
