Sometimes, I feel that there is so much beauty in the buildings of Eastern Europe, but too few people to admire them.

We all dream, irrespective of whether we work towards realizing the dream! Ludwig Friedrich Wilhelm II, King of Bavaria, popularly known as the fairy-tale King (der Märchenkönig in German), dreamt of a castle so beautiful that it inspired Walt Disney in the twentieth century.

When I reached Neuschwanstein, and looked up at the castle built on a small hill, I was in awe!
