heidelberg

Friday night saw the movie ‘Das Parfum‘, interesting movie to say the least. At about 2 AM the movie ended and a buddy and I decided to stop a local pub, Bier and Wine, to say hi to some friends. We ended up staying a bit longer than expected and i got home by about 3:30 AM. a couple of hours later I was awake, and tossing together a quick sandwich for a day trip to Heidelberg. on the way to heidelberg we stopped by the sinsheim museum. the museum was full of airplanes and cars. the highlight was going inside the concord.
in heidelberg we visited the heidelberg schloss (castle). it was mostly ruins but you can just imagine how amazing the castle was in its prime, overlooking over the entire city. the schloss had a room where i saw the worlds largest wine barrel, able to hold 55k gallons. After lunch (fleischkaese: a square flat hotdog with a sunny-side-up egg on top and some french fries on the side. i had no idea what it was when i ordered…but it was edible.)
we stopped by the student prison. it was a prison that used to be used by the university of heidelberg back in the day to house students who acted up. from the sounds of it, u didnt have a good time at the university unless u were ‘locked up’ at least once. the walls were covered in graffiti and silhouettes of the students faces. all in all it was a fun little trip. souvenirs: Lederhosen Aipron, Bottle of Pompegranite Liqour.
