A Stop At Stuttgart

Lyndon and I wanted to travel from Paris to Munich and I had made the decision to have a stop at Stuttgart, not far over the German border from France.  It took three and a half hours on a Very Fast Train and broke up the trip quite nicely.  I think it was a glimpse of the real 'southern Germany', even though we were there less than 24 hours. And it was a Sunday.

Stuttgart city seems full of lovely grassy areas with lots of flowers in full bloom (when we were there)...

We now know what the locals do on a gorgeous, sunny Sunday afternoon...

Stuttgart also introduced us to some lovely hospitality that we found in the two cities we stayed in Germany.  It also introduced us to fabulous German lagers...

...and sensational food!

Those Germans certainly do a wicked schnitzel and tasty chips/fries.  Ooo that's made me feel all hungry!!

Stuttgart is home to both Mercedes Benz and Porche so we saw and heard those cars everywhere in the city.  Lyndon was in paradise.

The Monday morning we were bathed in glorious sunshine and spent a little time in one of the parks relaxing and studying the Lonely Planet guide...

We left for the main train station late-morning as we were headed for Munich on a lunch-time train.  But that is another post...

Stay tuned.
