Days 13 and 14
Sleeping location: “Tim’s” bang-average airbnb, Mannheim
Distance (km today/total): 0 / 1379
Estimated climb (m today/toal): 0 / 8600
Hours of beautiful rest: 58
Days in three words: Beer, kebab, cigars
Two days spent with Craig and Toni in and around Mannheim. Took it very easy after the previous days’ efforts, which was very well received. Highlights include:
-Mannheim itself, which is quite interesting and has some nice bits. It also has a large Turkish population, which means there is an area with countless* great kebab restaurants, which we took full advantage of
-Having a bit of a bender on Thursday, involving a fun little bar, a fun little restaurant (where I had some fantastic calf’s liver) and staying up until 3am drinking beers and smoking cigars on the balcony
-A day trip to Heidelberg, which is lovely, if a little twee
-Me forgetting the word for “youths” and accidentally saying “die Juden”** loudly in a bar
-Learning that the German for coati (a little raccoon thing) is “Nose bear”
*You could probably count them if you wanted to
**”The Jews”
