Heidelberg; Wednesday, 27 July, 2011

I had a couple of hours to kill before my train on to Mainz, so after dropping my luggage off at the station I wandered into town and had a long walk around the old town centre.

I ended up down by the river with about 10 minutes to spare before one of the river cruises set off so I boarded that for an hours cruise past the old town. The ship I used was proudly boasting about being the largest solar powered ship on a river in Germany.

By the time we got back to the landing stage it was time to wander my way back to the station, collect my stuff and head off to stop 3, Mainz.
