Heidelburg!

After crossing the english channel to Calais we picked up our rental car and drove to Brussels in Belgium. In Brussels we went to the 1958 worlds fair site, then drove to Heidelberg. We got to Heidelburg at about 9 after being continuously passed on the highway because in some highways in Germany there is no actual speed limit.

The next day in Heidelberg we took the funicular up to the Heidelberg Castle and saw the worlds biggest wine barrel and then we saw the castle. The next day My brother and I decided to rent bikes and go biking up and down the Heidelberg mountain . The best part of the bike trip was when we were going back up the hill I discovered that I am horribly unfit*sarcastically smirks*. Going down the mountain I also discovered that the air is REALLY cold and it's not fun flying down a trail without gloves on when it's REALLY cold out. After we descended the mountain one last time we returned our bikes and headed out to the Black Forest part of Germany. We had booked a Gasthof (guest house) in a small town in a valley near Lahr. Lahr is where my dad had lived because my grandpa, or his dad, had worked at the Canadian base there 40 years ago.

 When my dad was a teenager he would come up here with his buds and walk along that
