Walking tour of Heidelberg
I have come to the conclusion that the best way to see a European city is by foot. After lunch our wonderful hosts, Kathrin and Christina, had booked us all in for a walking tour of Heidelberg. Once again, our guide was amazing. She took us all around, from the University food court (which has been voted the best in Germany) to the student jail (where bad students who use to play pranks around town would be sent for 3 days and fed only bread and water) to the memorial site of a Synagogue that was burnt to the ground in 1939 in what was known as the Kristallnacht (EN: Crystal night). The highlight would have been walking along the River Neckar. From the Old Bridge, there was an amazing view of the Heidelberg Castle (pictured above).
