After a few hours - we were tired and hungry so we decided to take a break and get some lunch before touring the rest of the museum.

 

There are 3 places to eat here; the coffee shop, the Boxenstopp; and Christophorus.

 

The coffee shop only had pastries and a few items and we needed to sit. Christophorus is fine dining that requires a reservation so that left us with Boxenstopp.

 

We went back down to the first floor and were seated for lunch.

I had the small size serving of Schnitzel - it was VERY good!

 

[Lisah101]

German potato salad of course

[Lisah101]

And Terry's burger and fries - everything was excellent!

[Lisah101]

Well fed and rested, we went back to the museum to finish our tour - I'll spare you the hundreds of photos - here is the section toward the end on the more recent cars. Notice they are on revolving stands in the floor - so cool!

They even had a section on "sounds" where you could push buttons to hear the different sounds each engine and part would make. Yes, we played with this for a while also.

Terry took a turn in the racing simulator. Not surprising - he did exceptionally well.

And it wouldn't be complete without a photo of the "pink pig"

A brief stroll through the gift shop on our way out but nothing really struck me - lots of trendy shirts, car models, some stickers but most of it was branded by specialty, not much just general Porsche stuff.

 

The Porsche dealer is just across the street of course.

And the round about with the Porsche centerpiece and part of the factory in the background.

This would have been such a good photo if it wasn't such a cloudy day and there was nice blue sky in the background.

Looking back at the entrance to the Porsche Museum.

 

[Lisah101]

We walked across the street to the dealership - wandered around a bit but it seemed just like all the Porsche dealers we see in the US - except this was cute.

 

[Lisah101]

We took the train back to the hotel - rested up after SIX HOURS of touring the Porsche Museum (not counting the time we spent at lunch).

 

We asked for dinner recommendations - German food, not pricey and this is one of the places the tourist help center recommended. It was a good recommendation!

 

Iv'e rotated that picture several times but photo bucket seems bent on being difficult today - think I'm moving all my photos somewhere else in the future.

I had the "Hausgemachte Kässpätzle im Pfännle". It was wonderful - Terry said it was like German macaroni and cheese - just made with spaetzel instead of elbow macaroni. they called them "Swabian noodles" in the English version.

 

[Lisah101]

I asked for a local wine recommendation - they gave me this and it was also very good. I could have this every day!

 

Terry pointing at which wine I had so I wouldn't' forget later.

Link to their Tripadvisor reviews.

 

Of course we had dessert - Terry's entry was OK but I didn't even get a photo so not sure what he had. I did share mine with him also

The next day was our Porsche Factory Tour - I was so excited about this one! To see the place where they build the 911s!!

 

We took the train to the same place as yesterday - by now we were getting confident about navigating the underground city of the train station.

 

This is the stop where you get off the train for Porsche.
