Trafalgar Day 3 - Amsterdam to Heidelberg

We woke up at 7am to our continental breakfast. Jumping on the bus at 8:30am we left Amsterdam, heading for our Rhine river cruise. We arrived at a little town called St Goar, where Will bought a giant pretzel & practised his German. On the cruise (about 1hr) we saw some pretty little townships, a few castles, and Lorelai, a statue of a mermaid that is said to protect the seagoers. Then off at a little town called Boppard. From there more driving till we hit Heidelberg - a quick walk around then up the 315 steps (they were numbered!) to Heidelbergschloss (castle). Dinner at a local tavern - Weiner Schnitzel with chips and a mushroom sauce - YUM! Then all back to the hotel for an early night (9:30pm!).
