Today I decided to attempt to visit Heidelberg. I managed to get on the train which cost a whopping 29.80 Euros for a return ticket and travelled for an hour and a half out of Frankfurt. Once is Heidelberg, I walked around 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, there's quite a bit left of the old castle and it's not in ruins at all. There were beautiful views of all of Heidelberg from the top. They also had the German Apothecary 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 Heidelberg university and marveled at the fact that I had sat through my boring theory lessons in art class on the Heidelberg 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.
