We got up relatively early again (7am), ate breakfast, packed up, and set off for Heidelberg, where we met up with Ivan's schoolmates. The drive was beautiful and it was exhilerating to travel on the autobahn, though we certainly weren't the fastest ones on the road. We saw numerous signs for turnoffs to historic places on the way, but wanted to spend as much time as possible with Ivan's friends, so we decided not to stop. We arrived at Johann and Julia's house for lunch and then were joined by another classmate, Vitaliy, who drove down from Frankfurt. Together we went to Heidelberg where we waleked through old town (the largest pedestrian walk in Europe, or so we were told) and went for a boat ride on the Rhine. We had dinner in a delightful restaurant and returned to Johann and Julia's where we spent the night. Us ladies retired around midnight while the guys stayed up until 3am!
