Walk around Sachsehnausen, Frankfurt for a little bit while trying to find some big bertha statue of an apparently butch looking lady (it's a fountain really) who spits out water at unsuspecting passers-by and you might stumble upon this gem of a scrawl on the back of a small building down a tiny alley. Taking it literally i'd suppose it'd be a good idea to find this Mr. Kipplings and ask him for some cakes. But we were in search of what ended up being a very disappointing fountain that didn't spit anything. As for the other disappointments, we've so far tried to find two restaurants from the lonley planet guide that don't exist anymore and found our best construction sight ever... the reportedly beautiful bridge that one is suppose to start a little tour of the Altstadt of Heidelberg from but we couldn't tell, it was under construction and covered in scaffolding. I suppose it's a side-effect of having such old structures around that the Kölner Dom, the Schloß in Heidelberg and this bridge among plenty of other famous touristy sights have all been under construction. I would like to add one thing to Matt's take on Heidelberg, the cyclist has the right of way no doubt about it. The bike lanes are as wide if not wider than the sidewalk and the plethora of bike parking leaves little be desired, as the picture of the main train station shows, and that's only a little part of it.

Also under construction: the main attraction here in Freiburg - the Münster
Mmm. Is it made of cheese?
I wish I could upload a photo here because when I was in Dusseldorf I saw a great statute that, from a certain angle, looked like a guy peeing. It's great. Those Germans do love their crazy fountains!
