Oh boy! Bojnice!

Simona and I visited the castle in Bojnice today. It's one of Slovakia's most popular tourist attractions, and it's easy to see why. This must have been Walt Disney's inspiration! It dates back to the 10th century, but the most current renovations were done to imitate French castles. It is absolutely stunning.

So, I'm sure it was a close 2nd... but this was the real inspiration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella_Castle

In case you ever find yourself in Bavaria close by sometime soon :) I'm pretty sure I've seen pictures of Kristie visiting this place and it seemed ridiculous.

The Slovak counterpart seems equally ridiculous :) ...and if only Walt had the chance to marvel at such beauty...
