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

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

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
... we ended up Skyping a few people instead. We had lunch at home and then drove into Alt Stadt. The car parks were already filling up quickly. After some searching we found a spot in the parkade near the town hall. The reason we came into Heidelberg was to catch up with an old friend of mine Silvana who lives in Frankfurt. I first met Silvana in New Zealand on my Contiki tour in 2010 and she taught me to play Mau Mau (uno) with cards and drink a Diesel (coke and beer). We ...
