As part of a whirlwind 2-week Eurail trip, our family landed in Munich, Germany on New Years 2013. We love Germany and especially love this city! We took a touristy bus tour and one of the stops was the grounds of the majestic Nymphenburg Palace.

Because of the time of year, we were unable to book a trip to the Bavarian Neuschwanstein Castle in the few days we had – one reason to return. My other reason to return, a regretful experience, for I did NOT take the train to see this beautiful, gorgeous yarn in person. What is wrong with me?? I have few regrets in life, and this is one – I should have gone!!! I think as a family we were just getting used to this kind of open-ended free-spirited travel and I felt “not right” deserting my husband and kid for a long afternoon; she, though a very good traveler was not up for another train day. I think next time we go on this type of trip, because I have made some strides in communicating my needs we can be even more flexible than in the past, and I can take a side trip to look at yarn, if I want to!
