One doesn't often go to a castle for lunch. And we had to turn back for this lunch break as I needed my passport, it was across the border in Austria. But unlike yesterday's, this was a proper castle with a suitably gory history behind it. Its most famous (no, here the word has to be infamous) was a queen who went a little beyond even the eccentricity associated with nobility. She apparently thought that bathing in virgin's blood would keep her skin looking young. Seemingly peasant girls going missing didn't arose too much suspicion back in the day. As skincare goes, probably no less effective than Oil of Ulay, but harder to acquire these days.
