Heidelberg




We are on the road again. We have had 2 days of over 500 Km travel and although it has meant we were pretty tired by the end of the day it has been worth it.
We left Amsterdam on Tuesday morning and travelled to the Rhine River where we took a ferry ride for about an hour. We had travelled this stretch of the river last week. We enjoyed seeing it again as the weather was much better this time. The Castles looked much better on a sunny day!
We lost a couple of people at the end of the Ferry ride as they did not get off. We had to chase the ferry down the river to retrieve them. This resulted in a bit of lost time.
We then made the trip to Heidelberg in Germany where we stayed the night. This town is quite large with a river running through it. The old part of the town has some impressive buildings, a nice town square and a huge Castle standing high on the hill overlooking the town. The Munster church is in this old part of the town.
After we had looked around the town we all met up again for dinner in a local restaurant. Then off to bed for a well earned rest.
