Heidelberg


Walking down the longest shopping street in Germany. Approximately 2 km in length. The oldest McDonald in Germany was supposed to be on this street, but was already gone by the time we visited. suspect it went bankrup. BTW, pic taken while heading for the castle below.( God, extremely out of breath climbing up the steep hill to get there)






Okie, so Germany was second in our winter trip plan after Paris. Mannheim in particular. Our beloved tour guide (wink to a mannheimer) brought us to this town on Christmas day.Yep it was a gloomy christmas here.Not just the weather. Even the people on the street! ( except for the four of us la hehe).
Wonder why the castle wall split n slid down? short recap; well,the french was long-time arch enemy to the Germans . the french kept bombing the Germans (and most probably vice versa). but this castle wall was such an impregnable fortress. so kire da banyak kali being bombarded with missiles whatsoever by the french but stll untouchable; until they managed to get a traitor to set a blast from the inside,and so it happened. Again, do correct me if i'm wrong. pengetahuan ni i obtained secara verbal je after all.
it's midnight, and i must have some sleep. Bonne soirée
