With a warmth in my heart that it is not so long left until I return to Heidelberg, I arrived to Lund last night again. It has been an increadible adventuare for me and I am longing until I eventually now am moving down there. As I've said, people have been so friendly and kind during my visit. I have met so much new people, just from a week's visit, and I am sure to befriend a lot more as soon as I move there.
Right now I need to work on the java course I am doing over the summer to get my last points for the exam, and also collect the comments of my examinators on the report so I can fix them and then send off the report for a print out.
For the sunday I had decided to travel up one of the mountains that surround Heidelberg city, and it was too boring to go up the one where the institute is situated so I chose the northern one called "Heiligenberg". It was still very hot outside, so I made sure to bring a lot of water.
Up at the mountain where several old relics to investigate further. A long time ago a settlement of celts resided apparently in the mountain. Several small towers where lined along the mountain edges, and two monastery ruins. Between those ruins were also a amphitheatre, which wasn't so old apparently as it was constructed in the 30's. It has over the years been used for many different occasions, amongst unders by the nazis around world war II. Crazy what history you can find by just walking up a mountain. But by time I returned to the hotel I had walked for some 4-5 hours and actually (kind of) "climbed a mountain, awesome!
I finish with some pictures from my mountainwalk and also from yesterday.
Some friendly japanese tourists helped me take a photo of myself, this is as I am walking down the mountain and I seem a bit tired in the photo :)
From the stage of the amphitheater and looking towards the audience seats. Room for quite a few butts on those bricks. As I was taking the photo, two guys were running around the amphitheater, and later tried to run up the stairs in a high pace. I got the impression they had been running for a while so they only managed to go half the way, but man am I gonna train to be in enough good shape to at least run up and down stairs a few times :D
The entrance (or well exit for me) as I left the hotel and headed for the train station and began my long journey home :( I felt a bit sad there, one wonderful week was at its end and I just longed to get back again. But august is soon here, and with that my move down to Heidelberg for three wonderful years in service of science!
I was not alone during my stay, and I was given a chair and place to work at during my visit, and I was not alone. From the left we have Dading, Natalia and Gabriel. I learnt a lot about living in Heidelberg and studying at MPIA from them, and I hope to meet them again as I return for more friendly encounters.
