The Linderhof Palace was King Ludwig's favorite. He built it after the palace in Versailles, France. He also made it so that he could be alone. His dining room table was able to be lowered through the floor to the kitchen where the servants would load it up with food and then send it back up to the king. I guess he liked his alone time. The inside of this castle was also amazing. Many of it modelings and décor were covered with gold leaves. It also had a mirror room where all the walls were covered in mirrors. It was very funny to watch the tour guide show everyone how to look in the mirror and that it made us go on forever. We thought that looked a little familiar. Everyone else was amazed and how the mirrors could do that.
Outside the castle was a man-made cave. The King wanted somewhere to go to see an opera that wasn't crowded; somewhere he could just sit and listed. So he built a cave. In the cave, there was a stage, a place for the orchestra (not the whole thing, but most of it), and for him to sit. People would come and perform for him here. It was a pretty cool cave.
We headed back to the car and guess what...it started POURING again. Just as we had dried out, we got all wet again. This was the wettest weekend we have had so far.
