We arrived at our hotel about midnight last night and had a short but good sleep. Our flight was from Prague to Berlin with a one hour stop over then Berlin to Stuttgart. We are getting to know many airports and of course how to change terminals, which we had to do in Berlin.
This morning Michael and Gerard have headed off to catch the train to the Porsche Museum and the Mercedes Benz Museum. Lee and I decided to have a slower start but then about 10.30am we headed off to catch the train into town. Our Hotel is quite different it is a museum and display centre for the company that built buses. Gerard rang us to let us know which side of the platform to go to, apparently him and Michael had gone in the wrong direction. Anyone surprised?
Lee and I went into the city and bought tickets for the hop on, hop off bus. Stop 3 of the trip was a wine tasting opportunity, so we got off the bus and went into the winery. We could taste 3 wines and have biscuits and sausage for 19 euro. It sounded like a deal to us, so we sat and tried Riesling, Rose and Red with our biscuits and sausage under an umbrella in the outdoors. It was lovely overlooking the vineyard and the views of Stuttgart. We missed the next bus and went for a walk before catching the bus and heading back into the centre of town. We had time for a look around the shops before catching the train back to the hotel as our cab to the airport was booked for 4pm.
Gerard and Michael had a wonderful day at the museums and arrived back at the train station just in time for us to pick them up in the taxi and head to the airport. Our plane was delayed but we arrived in Milan about 10pm and caught the train for a 50 minute ride into town. We found our hotel just near the train station as we had planned it. Our hotels have all been really great, including especially the Wotif Mystery deals.
