Finally - as we get gas and go to return the car - it starts to warm up enough to take off our jackets.

Everyone and everything seem tied to Porsche.

This bridge is where the body of the car comes out of paint, crosses the street via this connector on a conveyor and goes to the assembly line. Because they are out of space in the one building, they devised this - we did see some moving across - kinda cool.

We returned the car and headed to the train station for our final train ride back to the hotel - we had to go home early in the morning.

Back to the hotel - we rested before our final trek out for dinner. I am going to miss these pretzels so much.

 

[Lisah101]

Walking around Stuttgart for the last time. I thought of my cousin Jason.

Another Brauhaus for our last German meal.

Not sure what Terry ordered, but he liked it.

 

[Lisah101]

Mine was a sampler plate and I loved ALL of it!

 

[Lisah101]

Even the bread was noteworthy

Somewhere along the way, trying to order a glass of wine, the waiter thought we each wanted a glass of wine. Remember we don't speak any German. So I volunteered to fix the situation and drank both. I was a VERY happy camper by the end of the meal.

 

My favorite dessert - apple strudel.

Of course being a happy camper, on our walk back to the hotel we found a yarn shop so I had to go in - yes I got more yarn. So many projects now.

The next morning we had to be up and out before dawn as our first flight from Suttgart to Dusseldorf was at 0640.

 

We packed, called a cab and went to the airport. I wasn't ready to manage luggage down the steps of the train station in the dark of morning.

 

Our first flight was a small plane and I can't say enough about German airports. Everyone was incredibly polite, helpful and everything was immaculately clean.

Complimentary coffee and snack on a quick flight of less than an hour.

As we exited the aircraft, the flight attendant had a basket of Lindt chocolates and you could help yourself. I really like Germany (except the snow part)

Dusseldorf airport was easy to navigate, everyone again was friendly and helpful.

 

I had used miles to book business class and several had tried to warn me against Air Berlin. To be honest, this was a much better flight that the business class on Lufthansa we booked last time which had rude flight attendants, a broken seat and drink orders that were never delivered.

 

This was our best transatlantic flight of all 3 trips. Although British Airways is second.

My last fanta soft drink along with warm nuts.

 

[Lisah101]

Appetizer - the weird jelly like thing didn't look so good but I tried it and really liked it.

 

German food doesn't always look pretty, but I've learned to try before judging.

 

[Lisah101]

Terry's beef dish he like so much he ate it all!

 

[Lisah101]

My tortellini in Gorgonzola cream sauce with cranberries - I at it all!

Waiving at my sister and her family as we fly over her house!
