We have arrived at Heidelberg about one hour driving south from Frankfurt, staying at the Leonardo in Bergheimer Strasse in walking distance to the old town.
You won’t believe it but we waited until midday for the paper work for our car, after arriving at their office at 7.30am but it didn’t turn up so our patients were running out. They offered us a rental car to go on with but by now Pete was too tired to drive after flying all night. In the end we told them we weren’t waiting any longer and demanded that they drive us down to Heidelberg and deliver the rental car down to us tomorrow. At least this way we could start enjoying Heidelberg rather than sitting waiting for our wheels.
Finally got down here about 1.30pm, dropped our things into the hotel and went off walking the streets of Heidelberg. Lovely place although the weather looked threatening with a build up of very black clouds, and yes the heavens broke, very loud thunder so everyone took shelter and waited until it stopped which wasn’t long so we then wondered back to the hotel in the sun. Didn’t spend much time looking today, as it has been a very long day, sore feet and swollen ankles from the flying. Will tell more about the place tomorrow.This blog is a day late due to very expensive wi-fi at this hotel and as it is free on their computer I have had to work out how to use that with yes Jen copy to my stick then onto hotel computer what a mission but now have it suss so will get todays one away tonight (31st) Also can't download photos on this computer.
