Heidelberg ist kuhl - Day 1 in dem Grosses Brüder Haus

Ja, it's true
I am hier in Heidelberg in an internet cafe in the Universität area, a street called Plöck to be precise
Dies ist where it is at mein Freunds
Never mind yer Hauptstrasse, Plöck ist all you need
Es gibt wunderschöne Kirchen, Museums, art hotels, impossibly cool little alternative shops, even the religious shop beats the hell (if you will) out of most secular shops back home
Unfortunately everything ist jetzt geschlossen however this matters not weil ich habe all of diese Woche und nächste Woche to come back und plunder für Irland
And that's not to say that the rest of Heidelberg hasn't got much to offer (it has)
I arrived in der Altstadt this evening at about 19:30, after a quick wander on der Älterbrücke, I headed for the Gottverdammerung Hauptstrasse encountering the usual mix of mostly American tourists und Amerikanischen Studenten but Hark! is that an organ I hear before me?
It sure is! From the beautiful red sandstone Heiligegeistkirche, so in I wandered and there in the corner of the altar was a small illuminated figure playing his illuminated organ - majestic....and acoustics like I've ever heard
if only all music was played in churches!
this was followed by a quick jaunt into one of the many cafes gracing the Hauptstrasse, ein Tiramisu und eine Tasse Kaffe für only 3 euro 90
Now das ist ein Bargain in anyone's language!
Onward then to the Vespabar for an some pasta and and unfeasibly large Weizen with an unfeasibly large head - heretofore I proceeded to lick the head off this beast just as two American students walked in the door, needless to say they were mightily impressed and proceeded to my premises post haste for a roll in the hay (or maybe not!) ;D
Following this episode I proceeded down SeminarStrasse and headed for Plöck, taking a slight detour into the UniversitätsBibliothek, seeing a sign for an Exposition, I scampered upstairs only to be told that es geschlossen ist und given ein slap on der wrist
And then to Plöck....and finally to here in der Net Cafe - 2 euro for 90 Minuten, for sure das ist ziemlich gut Value!
Also tchuss und tune in Morgens Abend for Day 2 in dem Grosses Brüder Haus!
