Black Forest shop

 In the morning we congregate just before 0830 to watch the giant cuckoo clock do its thing.

Mum of teens is now referring to it as a castrated cuckoo clock. 

We were shown a quick demonstration of cuckoo clock history and manufacture, and then had a look around the obligatory gift shop. They freight anywhere if you're tempted. Clocks and timber souvenirs in one, and glass-blown ornaments in the next building.

Our guide gets all slippery over this hand-made wooden bike, but he can't afford it.

On the road back to Frankfurt, we stop for lunch at Heidelberg. The old part of town is very picturesque. It would be easy to fill an afternoon or two wandering the streets and alleys. 

Interesting that this church encourages stalls wrapped around it like this. I haven't seen that before.

Clearly the goal in this country is to put all citizens into a diabetic coma.

I just noticed how crap i am at holding the phone for photos.

Sarah popped into a church to light a couple of candles. That’s a thing, and I probably mentioned it before. Votive by stealth. 

Then a short ride back to Frankfurt. One final dinner before heading to the airport tomorrow.
