On another day, we took a drive east to check out some of the towns there. First stop was the Porsche Museum, Adam's pick. Made it there for the opening bell and I was a bit skeptical going to a car museum but it was very well done. We rented some audio guides - they even had a kids version which kept Adam and Sylvie amused for almost the whole visit. They even recited some interesting information that wasn't on the adult version. Sylvie has informed me that she will be getting a Porsche when she is older. Hope so because that's the only way I'll get a ride in one!
The Porsche Museum is located on the outskirts of Stuttgart. By the time we were finished at the museum, you guessed it, it was lunchtime. We headed into town and couldn't believe our luck when we stumbled upon a wine festival going on with rafts and rafts of German food being served - sausages, sauerkraut, spatzle, schnitzel, etc.
On the way back from Stuttgart, we drove through yet another beautiful town. This was called Tubingen. It, like Stuttgart, is a big university town but doesn't have the industry and is much smaller.
So, that brings us to our last day here in Buhl. We have loved it here and we will miss everything - the markets, the scenery, the bakeries - even the church bells that chime every 15 minutes - day and night!
Adam's 2 cents -
It's our last two days in Buhl. Then we head to Frankfurt. Then we arrive back home! Then it’s back to school ☹. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.
We went to a Porsche Museum. It was so cool. We got to see how Porsche started out, how it won all of its races, how the cars evolved over time to some of the fastest cars ever. Joe would love it there. There are so many cars.
I love it in Buhl but it will be nice to be home.
Sylvie -
Hi everyone. We are soon leaving. We did some geocaches. We had 5 to find but we only found 2. We also went to a Porsche Museum. It was so cool. There were race cars and normal cars. I liked it there because you would think that cars would be boring, but they are not. Joey would have loved it. We spent 2 1/2 hours in there.
I will miss feeding the cat Gipsy. He is a boy and he scratched Adam. It was so funny.
OK. See ya.
we went to the pne and we saw the on the edge show and it was really cool. It was two Ford Ranger trucks and all they had to do was get two wheels of the other guy's truck off a platform they were driving on. And to get up on the platform they had to drive on a giant teeter totter - super cool. I wish I could see the museum. And they had quad bike races and they went onto the platform, too, but up a ramp to get there. And the red guy won the relay race because the blue guy didn't put his flag on the back of quad bike properly.
ReplyDeleteLove, Joey :-)
Hi from Robbie,
ReplyDeleteAt the PNE, of the last two guys on the stage, one of them had one wheel off he edge and then the other truck pushed him and he flipped off the stage and over onto his roof. And then he had to climb out of his truck window and they flipped the truck over with a forklift. ?:-)))))))))((
Love, Rob
Hi from James,
ReplyDeleteThis is for Adam: Porsche did not win all their races, Ferrari did.
I miss you guys and am looking forward to seeing you.
Love, James
Hi from Auntie,
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is if David will be able to drop off a hot meat and potato lunch at school for you guys cause PB&J is going to suck after all of the grub you have been enjoying!!
And thanks for the cat picture. Sorry she bit you Adam, but she is super cute.
See you soon,
Auntie
When you were in Tubingen, did you see the building which has a sign (in German) that reads: Goethe Puked Here? Check out the incredible history on Wikipedia.
