Today we were visiting the city of Heidelberg. Wolfram told us that Heidelberg is considered the most romantic city in Germany. Our tour started with a visit to the castle, by taking a funicular up to the top of the hill.
Parts of the castle are still used, but other parts lie in ruins.
We took a moment to sing up on top of the largest wine barrel in the world! Yes, I did say on top! You actually have to take a flight of stairs to get there!
After visiting the castle we made our way back down to the centre of the old part of the town and grabbed a quick lunch beside the cathedral.
After lunch we had a half hour cruise down the Neckar River to a Benedictine monastery!
One of the Benedictine monks met us at the gate and took us on a tour of the monastery . This was quite a tour, because this was not a tourist area, we were the only ones visiting the monastery.
We were able to sing a couple of songs for the Father in the chapel and then go out into the garden to take a picture with him.
The final part of our day was driving to Frankfurt where we had dinner. We are staying here overnight and then on our way again in the morning.
