Would I Go Back To Heidelberg?
I would! But I would certainly go by a different route.
Home From Heidelberg
To get back home from Heildeberg, I took the train to Brussels changing at Cologne. And as I usually do, I took one of the last Eurostars for London that arrived just after nine in the evening.
It was a long if beautiful journey from Heidelberg to Cologne, which went right up the western bank of the Rhine. Sadly my camera had expired, so the pictures will stay in my mind.
Heidelberg Castle And Funicular
I went up the Heidelberger Bergbahn funicular to see Heidelberg Castle.
It was after this trip, that my camera battery finally gave out.
So it was just a rush back to get my train to Cologne for Brussels.
If you are a bit nervous about funicular railways, as C was, then this railway would be a good one on which to excise your fears.
Exploring Heidelberg
In the morning it was still wet, but at least it wasn’t raining hard. So I checked out of the hotel early and moved my bag to a left luggage locker at the station. I then bought myself a one day tram ticket for Heidelberg and started to explore.
I started in the centre and had a good breakfast of an omelette, juice and coffee in a cafe by the Rathaus.
It would appear that this is generally a safe breakfast in Germany for a coeliac, just like it was in Poland.
