Stupid Tourist

Heidleberg, Germany

Thursday 24 April 2008

Today I decided to attempt to visit Heidlberg.I managed to get on the train which cost a whoping 29.80 Euros for a return ticket and travelled for and hour and a half out of Frankfurt.Once is Heidlberg, I walked aroiund for a while, before realising that nothing is near the train station.I walked up to the bus terminal and asked the woman there how to get to the castle.Bus 33 she said, and I bought my ticket and got on the bus.

I got to the castle and while attempting to climb up to it got a bit disorientated around the town.I finally managed to find the path leading up to it, which was horrifically steep.I made it up to the castle and paid my 3 euro to get in.It was spectacular, theres quite a bit left of the old castle and its not in ruins at all.There were beautiful views of all of Heidlberg from the top.They also had the German Apothacary museum, which I had a quick look in also.

I climbed back down from the castle and went for a walk around the old town.There was a record shop there and you guessed it the only Oasis album I don't have on record was there!Theres no way I could lug it around Istanbul for months on end so again, painfully I had to leave it.I saw Heildberg university and marveled at the fact that I had sat through my boring theory lessons in art class on the Heidlberg painters and now here I was! I marveled at all the cute little German houses across the river, which looked just like a postcard, just outside the town.

I had pork schnitzel in this great little place in the square and then walked back to the main train station, where I boarded a train back to Frankfurt.
