a weekend in Frankfurt..
cherries in abundance everywhere.. one of my fave fruits anytime :)
People enjoying the sunshine & cool air..
i spend Sunday in Heidelberg which is about an hour away from frankfurt by train. As usual, none of my colleagues are interested to come along... which is fine by me cos i enjoy the solitude & making my own discoveries.
The pretty town of heidelberg, with its famous castle nestled amongst the mountains..
The castle ruins bathed in soft morning light
Serene castle grounds..
The magnificent gardens and the rock fountain of father Rhine shimmering in the sun
Descending from the castle brings u to the Corn market where the statue of Madonna stands..
it is also where i enjoy a lunch of bratwurst spatzle and apfelwein...
A unique antiques shop where the owner displays his wares on the roof of his car :)
Sitting along the Neckar river. It was a great day out, made especially lovely by the Germans i met who went out of their way to help me, and were so eager to tell me more about their town.. i would have been lost if not for them :)
What greeted me as i walked back to the hotel... these ducks were so cute and you could pat them and they would just sit there, nestling contentedly against yr hand.
