Who really gives a rip whether we can make the ? symbol or not. An e or even using the word euro is clear.<BR>The euro symbold I just put in looks great right now. Wonder what it will look like after I click on the red splotch?

up. apropos.<BR>

My dear Cottonseed!<BR><BR>Well, the answer to your question is that this does pretend to be an inter-national travel board, and so it shouldn't be too much to expect them to be able to cope with the spelling of foreign names and words as done in the country of origin. <BR><BR>What we have though is an apparent indifference to devising a way for this to happen. I suggest we all spell all American place names the way they are pronounced in terms of the language we speak, and see if they are indifferent to that.<BR><BR>Nu Jork, Kolorado, Ma&szlig;atsch&uuml;&szlig;ez, Schikago gives you the idea.<BR><BR>Harzer

Would have loved to have seen Neuschwanstein, however we drove all around the area trying to find it. It would help tremendously if they had signs directing you in Fussen or elsewhere in the area close to the castle. It was raining which did not help. <BR>Taking a train would probably be advisable.

I booked a tour via Grayline. I always thought I would do the tour myself, via train, but it was worth it to book a tour. No need to fuss with maps, research history, think of places to eat.

Rick Steves recommends Reutte, Austria as a great gateway to Neuschwanstein. We thought it worked superbly. Visited that other Mad Ludwig castle on our way from Munich to Reutte. It's the very baroque, beadazzled one, as Reba McIntire would say. I forget the name.<BR><BR>Had no problem finding our way to Neuschwanstein, but we did heed the guidebooks address to follow signs that sometimes say Schwangau, and sometimes say Neuschwanstein. Schwangau is the other castle where Ludwig grew up as a boy. We didnt go there.<BR><BR>We did follow the advice to be there first thing in the morning. Wouldn't do it any other way.<BR>
