Extreme Randomness
... been trying to take a photo every day on the tram of the Edingen Water Tower. This tower marks the boundary of Edingen from Weblingen which is the outer village from Heidelberg. I never thought of a country having villages given that Adelaide is such a sprawling metropolis, but with fields separating the settlements there is a physical boundary at least. Anyway today I finally managed to get a good shot given the fast moving tram.
Enjoy!

European Girls
... Germany, Ludwigsbourg is known for its castles and churches and its beautiful Christmas market that starts in December. We ended Evann's trip at a fancy restaurant in Winnenden that overlooked the surrounding towns and I had her try my favorite meal spaetzle (she loved it). It was sad to say good bye at the airport today but cannot wait until we have another European adventure together in the future! ...
Philosophizing over Glühwein
... making noise. We escaped the crowds by crossing over the Neckar River and up to the Philosopher's Way which is a famous walking route in Heidelberg.
The road climbs steeply up from the street and it is a wonder how the cars manage to stay put! After a 10 minute climb, we came out at the garden which gives a lovely view of Heidelberg. Unfortunately the light was fading which wasn't great for pictures, but ...
Autumn Days
... been good to get into a regular workout schedule again as well. It is a bit hard doing sit ups in a tent!
I made some Anzac Biscuits this week and my first homemade pizza base which turned out ok, but we didn't bake it long enough so it was a bit soft. My German course finishes next week and my new one starts directly so there will be no rest for the wicked! I'm looking forward to hitting the Christmas Markets tomorrow and playing some billiards afterwards!

Worlds Colliding
... over coffee, we set out to go up to the Heidelberg Schloss.
There are two ways to get to the schloss: first is by foot and 315 steps or the second is by the Bergbahn. We opted for the lazy way and bought a ticket on the furnicular railway. I've only been on this contraption once before in Wellington and this one was much more modern. We didn't go all the way up to the Koenigstuhl so the trip was quite short. From there it was a short walk to the schloss.
