I just watched a fascinating documentary on the fairytale castles of King Ludwig 2nd’s

BBC Four - The Fairy-Tale Castles of King Ludwig II with Dan Cruickshank

Examining the extravagant castles and palaces created by King Ludwig II of Bavaria.

www.bbc.co.uk

So this had me doing some research. I found what I think is a great location with so much to see and do. (If you enjoy history and culture).

The problem is, it's $3000 plus flights and possibly two more overnight stays, for a 7 day tour.

It got me thinking, that if we still had the caravan. It would be ideal to stay in the location of the hotel (There will be bound to be sites), and steal the itinerary. The tour organisers have done all the work.

If interested, look here.

How much would it cost to hire a camper van?
Would it be (relatively) cheaper?

Might look at that, but we have been spoilt for choice having a large caravan for so long.

How about B&B plus a small hire car? Although if Germany is like here it is getting increasingly difficult, or expensive to hire aged over 70.

I might drive and look at AirB&B, We have enough credit for the return channel tunnel.

When we drove to Saxony we booked B&B via Expedia which gave a good range of options, plus easy amendments en route with no charges. Then in cities we used public transport or P&R.
