Heidelberg visit

 Saturday 08/06/24

We've settled into the gentle rhythm of camp-life very easily and it has been really nice to spend a longer time in one place, something we rarely did in Bokkie.  Although we find ourselves constantly comparing Orthos to Bokkie, it's a completely different type of travel for us and better suited for our current needs.

As a birthday treat for me,  we took the train into Heidelberg yesterday. A 20 minute walk to the station and half an hour on the train saw us deposited near the Altstadt section of this beautiful town.  Although we arrived fairly early, the town was already bustling with tourists.

Beer time!

We spent a lovely day walking around marvelling at the wonderful architecture and, of course, stopping to sample the local beer and have some lunch.  A lovely day out.

This unusual church caught our eye, quite different to the usual stone façade, this one was pink on the outside and white on the inside.



This rather strange life size model was above the entrance

Today we're getting our washing done because it is a beautiful, sunny day - and also doing some general camping jobs - it's not holiday every day! 😉
