TN Heidelberg Part 2

The continuation of our day trip to Heidelberg :)

We walked from the peach sandstone church to the beautiful Church of the Jesuits

White and gold...breathtaking.
The fearless Ursula (our tourguide) let us know that this church always has interesting items hanging in the sanctuary to "shock and amaze".  On our visit there were the cool black and white hanging pictures to the right.

From there we visited the Student Prison...
This place freaked me out.

The room of kings...

Opposite side of the king room...

Ninja Andrea does not like jail!
The Student Prison was utilized through different periods by Heidelberg University.  Students who were disorderly were sent here to spend the night and think about their actions.  Ursula said it became a badge of honor to spend a night in the prison.

One of the Heidelberg University buildings...this was the last stop on our tour.

Just another summer day on campus.

We stopped for an iced chocolate shake and I did this quick video:



I loved the church bells...unfortunately they were drowning out the last of Ursula's speech:



A few other random pictures.
The Virgin Mary.

A zoom of just a portion of the castle.

The beautiful Nekkar River.
This concludes our fab day trip to Heidelberg.
