Grand Circle River Tour 6: Heidelberg [Sky Watch Friday]

After an overnight sail to Frankfurt am Main [pronounced Mine], we disembarked and boarded buses that would take us to Heidelberg [on the Neckar River]. Rosemarie and I skipped the group morning walking tour since we were met by our nephew and his wife, who had driven from Lambsheim. We spent the next several hours with Eckhard and Elie making our own tour, which included visiting the University and its so-called prison [for misbehaving students]. I think it was less of a prison and more of a frat house, and probably a badge of honor to have spent time there, where they could express their creative juices.



After taking lunch in the public market, we walked back to the central meeting place and rejoined our group in order to visit Heidelberg Castle; while Eckhard and Elie drove off to visit their grandson. It was a bit of a hike up to the castle, and before long I managed to get separated from my group. But that left me more freedom to get the shots I was interested in taking, particularly those overlooking the city.
