photos from the hauptstrasse

because blogger wont let me add pictures to my last entry, i've decided to just add the pictures here. i'm not going to explain that much about them because i explain everything in the last post, just a short note to let you know what's what. enjoy...

this is the entrance to steingasse through the keep, which then leads to the marktplatz and the hauptstrasse.

this is steingasse, on the left about half way down the street is where we stopped for beer. mmm... beer

this is the church in the marktplatz. very gothic, especially the little german gift store at the bottom. for some reason they sell flags from all over the world, not an australian one though. but i did find a new zealand one. very odd.

this is the knights hotel/pub. crazy.

these are just some of the christmas decorations to make my mother insane. the whole shop was full to overflowing with madness. it must be absolutely insane in there around mid-december.

just another shot of the haupstrasse. you can see alexis, matthias and one of his boys in the foreground.just a final shot of the north side of heidelberg from the side of the river neckar at the end of the hauptstrasse. the town is beautiful.
