Yesterday my dad and I took a day trip to Heidelberg. Of course when we set out it was a gorgeous sunny day but an hour later when we arrived in Heidelberg it was overcast and gloomy. And the pictures reflect that. I think the clouds just make the castle look spooky, which I like. What's the point of a castle if it's not haunted.
Heidelberg has a castle that looms over the town. Here's a pic of it up on the hill, taken from the town. In order to get the good picture of the castle and the town all together you have to cross the river and walk up the hill on the other side so you get a view of the whole town from far away. Of course we did not do this.
Here's a picture of the town as seen from the castle:
Dad enjoying the view:
Some more of the castle:
And here's dad with his döner kebab for lunch ... no trip to Europe is complete without a döner kebab:
And here are some more pics of the town. LOTS of shopping in Heidelberg, plus churches and other historical sites to see. We of course didn't have time to do everything but hopefully I'll get back here with Martin at some point. Here's the main church in town. It had neat stained glass in it, some of which was super modern and abstract:
I love how each house is painted a different color:
