Today we took the short walk to the train station and took the train to Heidelberg. It’s a short train ride, 20 minutes. Unfortunately, our weather has changed and it was cold and raining! But we bundled up and proceeded on!
Arriving in Heidelberg, we visited the Information center, armed with a map and some local knowledge we walked to the Old Town area. Heidelberg is a University 
town and has long been a center of environmental studies. Friday is protect the future protest day so we saw a couple hundred people parading to speak for the future, interesting!
The old town is centered on the Heidelberg Castle, which of course sits on the hill, dominating the city. The university and the bridge with of course the church’s are lovely!
We treated ourselves and enjoyed a huge lunch of Schnitzel with trimmings which also became dinner.
Lovely city, however it is on the mainline for tour groups and river cruisers, so it was touristy and crowded!
We returned to lovely and quiet Ladenburg, walked through the city where the local farmers market was in process, than home for leftovers and a glass of vino.
Today, we are driving the romantic highway and Sunday taking a day off before driving into France on Monday, visiting Strasbourg. Tuesday, on to Munich, and hopefully nicer weather for the beer gardens,
Cheers, Mike and Cindy

Sorry about the tour groups and cruises. They are all over Europe. Probably unavoidable. but it comes with the territory. Luckily you found the proper places to shop!
