Okay, last part! This is what we did on our second day in Heidelberg.
Getting everyone situated and ready to start out!
Getting ready to enter old town
In which we walk
(you do a lot more of that over here!! :)
Looking up at the castle from old town
Narrow roads
An all important way to start the day! :)
The square in old town
Hercules - reminded us of our horse back home :)
I love this picture of my sister!!
With daddy
The other kiddies
This has an interesting story behind it -
In the 17th century, much of this area (including Heidelberg) was largely Protestant. When the new Catholic ruler came into power, he had many "Madonna" statues (featuring Mary and Jesus) built in an attempt to convert the Protestants of Heidelberg back to Catholicism.
We stopped at...
...this bakery...
(supposedly the most famous one in Heidelberg)
...and enjoyed some apple strudel!!!
It looks like Seth's really enjoying it. :)
Then began our biggest adventure of the day...
...the Philosophers Walk and the winding way!!!
Not too easy to walk up...
...especially with a stroller!!
Climbing higher...
...and higher!
The sun peeked through!!
More stairs
The view got to be quite amazing
Towards the middle of the hill, it was nice to be on pavement!!!
A pretty yellow flower in the midst of everything else still waiting to bloom
Berries!
I really like this picture
We really made our way around old town this day!!
Trace our steps - start on the far left of this picture (where we parked by the water), go through the town to the far right of the picture, back track to the old bridge and cross, then go up and all the way across the hill (pretty much the same distance if not further), and back down again!!! Everyone slept good that night. :)
Seth...
...wanted to explore this path!
There was a play area!
The kids had fun!!
I think Shenandoah enjoyed riding in the stroller :)
She had fun playing too!!
Scenery
In which we enter...
...and go up!
The view from the top
Three sisters
Love you, "Doey"!!
More scenery
We thought this was interesting (large and small garage)
Almost down
This was funny to see
Lots of walking!!
Geese!! Seth wanted to catch one :)
Gelato!! - a perfect way to end the day :)

"Hey! There's our van!!" :)

What goes up, must come down...
This picture was taken standing on the old bridge. If you look close at the hill, you can see all of the trails where we walked.
Okay, finish tracing our steps! - half way up the hill starting on the far right of this picture, go all of the way across (plus some - didn't get the whole thing in the picture :), and then all the way back across the bottom to the old bridge!!
