Today we were docked at Mannheim, but there's not a lot to see in this industrial town, so we were put on a bus and taken to Heidelberg. The main attraction at Heidelberg is the very old castle, which is mostly a ruin these days (having been burned down at least 3 times).
The castle houses the largest wine barrel in the world.

We then had several hours to wander around Heidelberg's various Christmas markets and enjoy a traditional German lunch.

Mannheim is Swansea's twin city. Heidelberg has one of Europe's universities. That's where the "Student Prince" was.
