Da world's biggest beer keg!
A nice view over to Heidelberg Castle from Philosopher's Way
One of the great middle ages street at the foothill of Heidelberg castle, me with HM and XQ. Sometimes you just have to be there personally to feel it, trust me, pictures are hard to tell.
The fantastic Cabonara Pasta, don't be deceived by the plain looks of it k, it rawkz
The breathtaking view from up the castle, notice the different types of buildings in the far end. The contrast of modern architecture vs old.
Yay!, me in armour. Ok, lets go cheong dungeon now n slay da dragon, lol
How cool is this, try reading that =P!
Ok, on Sunday we all went to Heidelberg except for J and B coz their host are gonna bring them there some other weekend and the host is like knowledgeable n stuff so they wanted more of a history session i suppose. Lucky for me i took Arnold's host's car to Heidelberg, don't have to take the chui train over there. I must say his host is a real funny guy. Taught him how to sing a german song... well.. was very enthusiastic to teach us all German. Sometimes I think he himself is a joke lo. LOL. First thing we did at Heidelberg was going to the Philosopher's way. Its a long winding path up a hill. I had no idea how far we walked but it was damn steep and we didn't finish it also. Damn shag siah. Can't believe its another day of walking on top of Sat. We didn't really have time to finish it also, if not we'll miss the train timings back. So we asked ard n got the way down and across to Heidelberg Castle. Anyway the scenery up along the path on Philosopher's way was not bad, until we got up to the castle itself - it was even better! Oh well, anyway before we made our way up the castle, I had an unforgettable Cabonara pasta made by this restaurant on the foothill of it. Damn good, never regretted paying 8 euro for it. The sauce was like juz nice, not too cheesy n stuff. Real good stuff I must say, haven't really got to try one like that in sg yet. So... on to the castle... another steep path up... -.-, a bloody hot day as well - 33deg if I nv remember wrongly. Once again, another great architectural site, beautiful carvings by artisans. Not to mention the wonderful view on top of it - the whole of Heidelberg city and the river. Of the whole grp that went there, there were 2 separate grps, one there juz for the pics and another pics and some history lesson. I belonged to the one with the history lesson, so I joined the guided tour into the castle. Though nothing much inside interests me, at least I feel that i've learnt something, not a wasted trip. Purely taking photos... doesn't really appeal to me that much; its like since i'm already there, might as well go for the tour and learn something rite. Oh well... anyway, the only thing that got my attention in the castle was the extreme coolness of the interior areas despite the temperature outside. As far as I know and after asking the tourguide, the coolness is actually natural, no air-conditioning! Luv it, wish my house was like that also. So oh well.. guess the whole Heidelberg trip was just the castle and well... some very nice streets at the foothills of it, sometimes it just makes me feel like i'm back in the middle ages - Cool (always wanted to feel like that ya)!
