    Heidelberg – Baden-Württemberg | Trips around Germany

    January 1, 2020 /

    In the beginning of November we visited Heidelberg here in Germany, about 78km from Frankfurt as a way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The city has about 160 thousand people and is the 5th largest city in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Germany’s oldest university is in Heidelberg, and students represent at least 25% of the city’s population. Our Hotel We did not have a whole lot of time to explore the city.

It has 6 lands, with a total of 36 attractions. There are 6 roller coasters and 5 water rides. One of the cool things about the park is that it is pet-friendly.

    boarding with kids

    The Decision When we told people we were moving abroad again, the first question asked by most people was “Why??!!”. We really don’t have a straightforward answer. This was really a combination of factors that culminated in the perfect storm for us to make the decision. First of all, we would not have considered moving if we didn’t have something secured there. It all started because Diego was contacted by a recruiter with a job in Frankfurt. At first, he decided to reply to the recruiter because, as he says, “what do I have to lose?”. But it turned out that a few months of process, including a visit to…
