Heidelberg

I am writing from Heidelberg where Valley and I have just finished checking out the magnificent, even if partially destroyed, namesake castle.








Last night we had a particularily bad experience with a rat eating a few holes in one of Valley's pannier. Tonight we have to cross ouor fingers and hope that putting our pannier up high they will not be able to reach them. Our mistake was leaving food in the vestibule.

A note about the bier. It is delicious of course and it changes by region. On the Rhine we enjoyed what seemed to be the flagship bier of Köln, Reissdörf Kölsch. Further up the Rhine we found a Dark wheat bier. Heffewisen Dunkel. Here I enjoyed a bier which I believe the label called a black or dark beer. Seemed like an ale of some kind. I will get more tonight.

Our current plan is to make for stuttgart along the Neckar and take a train from there to Italy, via what cities we do not know.
