I have wanted to visit Heidelberg for a long time.
Essentially I want to grow a big black mustache and
get some dueling scars that women like. I payed
more money than I normally do for a hotel,
so that I was staying in the interesting bit.
So since Darmstad is fairly close to Heidelberg,
I thought it was time to visit. I took a slow
local train so that I would have more time for
reading my Parker book. I was expecting that
Heidelberg was old fashioned but the view from the
train station was the standard concrete that
greets every visitor by train
While I was waiting for the tram I saw a
modern sculpture.
As I go I got off the tram and saw a Woolworths shop, and after some confusion I found the hotel. So Woolworths lives on in parts of Germany, I didn't buy any pick and mix sweets for old times sake. I didn't get to the hotel until about 5, so I didn't have much time to explore in the light. There is a huge main street that stretches for miles and miles. All the good bars were a long way from my hotel. There was a shop that sold many different types of absinthe, but I decided to buy any, because they were all expensive, but I wanted to buy a lot.
I went for meal in a Korean restaurant. The food was really great -- with 8 vegetable side dishes. As far as I could tell all the other people in the restaurant were Americans. Somehow Korean restaurant attracts Americans.
