A warm summer evening in Heidelberg

Another lovely city in Germany, Heidelberg. As Regensburg and Bamberg its located in the south. The nature is beautiful and it has a huge castle on top of a hill by the water. As soon as I get a chance I will upload some pictures from here.
Last night when I was walking around down town I passed by a cinema where they showed the movies in their original language! Its really rare to find those here so I was very surprised. I had one of the best bruchettas Iv ever had and at 9.30 I went to the cinema to see Woody Allen´s Vicky Christina Barcelona. It was vey good, Penelope Cruz got an Oscar for best supporting actress in this movie and she deserves it! For those who has yet not seen it, go see it, its special but very good.
Heidelberg is full of cute cafés, restaurants, ice cream bars and chocolate store, yesterday a lady told me that Heidelberg is the city of romance, and it is really romantic here. For so many swedish people Germany is just a country you drive thorugh when going south, a country with a ugly language and a not very exciting culture. But its so much more than that! To me, Germany is one of the nicest coutries in Europe, Berlin is one of the most exciting cities in Europe when it comes to fashion, art, music and ofcourse history. Düsseldorf, the richest city in the country, is fantastic. Hamburg, Köln, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, München, Leipzig..all of them are worth a visit. The smaller towns such as Regensburg, Bamberg, Amberg, Heidelberg, the ones that did not get destroyed in WW2 have so much history, beautiful buildings and a lot of stories to tell. The oldest concentration camp from WW2 is in Dachau, a smaller town right outside München, a town that also is very nice but unfortunaly only remembered because of the camp. I could write a whole book with tips on places to see and things to do in this country! Next time you are driving down to Italy, France or any other warm sunny country, take a few days to see Germany. You will not regret it
