Stuttgart

Porsche and Mercedes build their cars here, it is also the birthplace of the automobile. So naturally I wanted to come here. We stayed at a campsite just outside the Mercedes stadium and plan. We had agreed to only visit one car museum while here so I had to make a difficult choice. I chose Porsche. The museum was small and just ok, but they are building a much larger one which should be pretty cool (I was reminded of the BMW museum in Munich). The best part about the museum was that it was free. We didn’t know this going in, so I asked if that meant we could now visit the Mercedes museum. At 8 euros admission, more transit fees to get there and a simulator for 4 euros I was eager to visit the Mercedes one despite the exorbitant costs. But we were running out of day time so I was only allowed to see the one museum, which was alright with me. We did manage to walk around a bit outside the campsite, since the weather was very nice, and ended up going to Subway for lunch. It will probably be the last time, as it was 20 euros. Oh, and they were still giving out stamps, I guess nobody here has thought to steal the roll yet.
