If it’s Thursday, this
must be Heidelberg.
We arrived in Offenbach
and transferred to a bus to head out to Heidelberg. Heading up a winding road,
passing beautiful homes, we come upon a beautiful site. A huge castle, with a
huge moat, partly in ruin, but being restored. It took 400 years to build and
was destroyed by the French in 1689; rebuilt and then destroyed again by fire
in 1764.
There was an apotheke
museum on the grounds which had some unbelievable medical instruments and
medicine bottles.
We headed into Heidelberg
for lunch and had a ‘local product’,
a mincemeat pie, filled
with meat and vegetables. After lunch we
walked down the ‘longest’ shopping street in Germany, filled with shops from
mom and pop to high end. Heidelberg, a university town, was overflowing with
young people.
Leaving Heidelberg, we
continued by bus to our next port, Rudesheim, where we had a ‘pub crawl’.
Time for bed….problem with pix again....maybe tomorrow
