Day 116 : Heidelberg to Cologne

The train ride from Heidelberg to Cologne took 3 hrs and was mostly along the Rhine River

This made it a very picturesque train ride, with beautiful landscapes of houses and occasional castles.

The locals on the train sitting around me were also really warm and friendly – a few of them had noticed that I had been snapping photos along the way.

We had just passed an interesting style castle and shortly after another castle perched on top of a cliff.

It's said that the route between the cities Bingen and Bonn contains about 40 medieval castles!
