Heidelberg

With a whole day free of football or domestic commitments (yesterday was washing day) I took the 40 minute train ride to Heidelberg. The old city is built on the River Neckar with the Shloss (castle) overlooking the city. In its hey day the castle must have been an amazing sight (it still is) with massive grounds surrounding the defensive walls on the side of the mountain.

After a walk fromt the station, a climb to the castle, a wander around the top of the mountain and folloing philosophers way along the mountainside on the opposite bank back to station my legs were well and truly ready for bed.
