Heidelberg!!!


This is my base of location in germany for the next couple of days. Last time around I was put up in Manheimm, which is more of a commercial place with many a mall and cars and activity. Heidelberg is more of the old scottish or german town with a schloss..Oops..castle and many an old houses and mueseums, universtiy and old houses, tourists flock to this place and is definitely not an affordable place to live. I was told that a lot of Americans and Mediterraninans stay in some parts. Its got fields and schools and a lot of students and pubs, yet to visit any of them though.

Well on the lighter side.. I shall update this space with closer to life snap shots of the city.
The US soldiers having a shot at their Fu-Fu amongst all the usual army banter, the kid with the diabolo, Falafel - the arabic special dish, Morocoan mint tea, watching Indian Tourists being escorted to closed churches and mueseums..courtesy a packaged tour group from India (Thomas Cook ;) Jayanth and me decided, this is what we might get to see when taken on a European tour on one of them. rofl ).

At the moment, I am off to the Holiday Park for the summer summit or rather family day of my organisation.

More to on Heidelberg ....I promise....

Real life as ever catches up with me...and a friday night is the only time I get to catch up:) The castles sound lovely...there can be ghosts there ;) And the falafel reminds me, when we had gone to Goa, we had gone to the Saturday bazaar, it had seemed like a world of its own. We had tried out falafel there, and it was awssum...sorry for the delay :) Hope u r enjoying your trip :)
