We are in Heidelberg

Hi all ,
we arrived in Germany last night at 7pm from Denmark. My brother came and meet us at the airport. Our first experience was very un Germany like- it took for ever for our bags to turn up. We handled the issue and the fact we have missed a train by going to the bar and drinking red wine till the next train. You think this is good, we then catch the fast train- 300km per hour - takes 40mins to Heidelberg. And we do this sitting in the cafe section drinking more red wine.

We drop everything at Sean's round 10.30pm and then walk to the resturant for dinner at the Snitzelber. Two of Sean's work friends (both on loan from Spain) come to dinner with us. The meals are big and fabulous - with more red wine. We are the last to leave the resturant and head to the irish bar (but it is closed) so we go to another pub. Only 5 girls in the bar- the rest were men and most of them were taller than Alison and I.
Midnight hits and it is Alison's b'day so we clink glasses and give wishes. Finally the pub shuts and we head home where in honor of Alison's b'day we have a glass of Frangelico before bed at 2.30am. At least we didn't have to go to work like Sean.
Have a picture will up load later.
Miss you from here
Karen & Alison
