An interior cabin on a cruise ship is typically the cheapest option when choosing a stateroom category. But saving money is not the only reason to consider choosing a windowless accommodation for your next cruise.

Who would have thought a fairy-tale castle could really exist in reality.Have you seen Cinderella castle in Disney World? Magnificent huh? Guess what? Cinderella castle was actually inspired from the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Germany.Walt Disney got inspired when he saw Neuschwanstein, one of the castles that he used as inspiration to create Cinderella castle in Disney World.Sleeping Beauty castle in Disneyland is also based on the bavarian castle with some french inspirations.Wow wee.. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany I'm not gonna write much about the history of the castle but instead I'm gonna enlighten you all with some of the interesting facts on the Neuschwanstein castle. The castle was initially known as New Hohenschwangau Castle.But after the death of King Ludwig II, it was renamed Neuschwanstein which means "New Swan Stone". King Ludwig II was the owner of the castle.Before the castle even nearing completion, he was declared mad, then arrested and removed from the castle.He was then found dead few days later with mysterious cause of death. The designer of the castle named Christian Jank. He wasn't an architect but actually a theatrical designer. The castle took 17 years to build, with about 200 – 300 craftsmen working on site every day. The amount of building material was enormous with 513 short tons of Salzburg marble, 1710 short tons of sandstone, and 400,000 bricks. Many items in the castle have the shape or picture of a swan which is the king's favourite animal. Neuschwanstein castle is one of the most famous tourist destination in Europe, having about 1.3 million visitors per year, with number of visitors in summer being as high as 6000 per day. The castle was one of the finalists in the selection of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Neuschwanstein is one of the most photographed castles in the world. Remember the road trip I was on? The actual plan was to go from Duisburg to Ulm to Biberach and back to Ulm before going straight home.Hee..but we did a little detour.Detour means to deviate from using a direct,usually shorter route...So we terhegeh-hegeh took the longer way and were heading towards south, nearing the border between Germany and Austria.It was a last minute plan to go to Neuschwanstein but it was a great decision and visiting the castle was the highlight of our road trip.Yeah! Heading to Königsschlösser (King's castles) We bought a group ticket to go into the Neuschwanstein castle.English tour guide came with the ticket.You'll see the tour number and your entry time on the ticket. The castle background behind us is the Hohenschwangau castle.You can find two castles here in Allgau.One is the Neuschwanstein castle and the other one is named Hohenschwangau castle.The distance between the two castles is about 1 hour by foot.So we only chose to enter the Neuschwanstein castle. The views of the surrounding before taking the bus or horse-carriages towards the castle.You have three alternatives to reach the castle.By foot which will take about 40 mins, by horse-carriage which will be romantic but pretty expensive or by shuttle-bus,the cheapest and most practical way to reach the castle. We took the shuttle bus, each person paid 1.80 euro.Advantage of taking the bus is that it'll stop at Mary's Bridge, where you'll get a magnificent view of the Neuschwanstein castle.You'll then have to walk for about 15 minutes before reaching the castle from Mary's Bridge.
