t14 c13 29/04 Wörth am Rhein 77k704 Heidelberg

Late start (see prior blog).   Cycling as a hangover cure  - -  cool turkey.

I had planned to deviate from the Rhein to visit Heidelberg, one of the few guardians of European civilisation during the dark centuries.

So, continued on the plain through a not rich area with frequent small towns including a few gems
Either Rulzheim or Bellheim (can't remember)

and Speyer

After Speyer a local cyclist lead me for 15k along the quiet back lanes until 5k from the centre of Heidelberg.   Found a hotel on the verge of the Aldstadt.    Plan a non cycling day to explore H.
