As we glide into the final days of our world journey, we seem to be losing a bit of steam. (Mikaela is counting down the days to home flight). We arrived in Munich the day after their team (apparently) won a major soccer tournament. We were all set to go into town to check out late celebrations, but awoke to a grey rainy day.
The plan I hatched earlier to head east to Prague and then north to Berlin also got squashed by the fine print on our rental contract (no insurance in Czech Republic).
So we headed somewhat aimlessly north toward Frankfurt ... finally stopping at a pretty riverside camp in Heidelberg.
The next day was spent strolling on the "pedestrians only" Hauptstrasse ... looking at shops new and familiar, then visiting the town's medieval "largest ruined castle in the world" and the "old bridge" ... bombed to bits in WWII and then methodically put back together by the townsfolk after the war (see pic).
Heidelberg is not quite Prague or Berlin but the best plan we could muster when running on empty ... also our best day in Deutschland.
