Everytime I see pictures or read about Schloß Neuschwanstein, my heart and soul simple melts. The entire setting and panorama that the castle sits in simply takes my breath away. The skies, the air, the colours, the buildings, the trees, the plants, the animals and the other bits and pieces have been so intricately put together such that it creates a wonderful and breath-taking view. Most importantly, the entire atmosphere and life of King Ludwig II seems to have been brought to life and talking to me. I am constantly curious about what went through his mind and how did he manage to juggle the elements of his life. Someone who has compassion and empathy for this people, someone who loves art and music, he was simply not cut out to be a leader of a state where he had to make hard decisions. I wonder, if his mind is always in a state of chaos trying to rationalize the realities of life at that time.
The thought of being able to go back there again and look at the castle and his lifestyle and experience the life around the village of Fuessen and Hohenschwangau simply gets my adrenalin pumping. I just cannot wait to immerse myself in the atmosphere and feel the warmth and passion of such a character. I want to drink the beer brewed there and eat the food that people eat there. I want to live the life of a German. I want to speak German with them and get to know them.
I want to live the experience and keep it inside me, something which no one can take away from me, something which I can say will be special to me because the feelings and emotions will only be created and felt by me alone.
