Mercedes Benz museum
Famous Gull wing roadster
Merc's every whereAfter leaving Geneva we headed to Stuttgart, Germany. Home of Mercedes Benz and Porsche. It was a very long train trip and we didn't get into Stuttgart till 10pm.
On our first day we went to the Mercedes Benz Museum, it is a bit out of town and €14 for entry but worth every penny. The building the Museum is in is a modern marvel. It is seven stories high. The museum tells a story, not only of Benz but also of what was the world was like at the time. We thought that it would only take an couple of hours but it took nearly all day, we also got there early enough to get our names on the Engine plant tour. Inside the Museum is every sort of Benz you could imagine, right from the first car ever made through to the modern cars. There were also truck, buses and Benz's used as taxi's etc. In the engine plant we got to see the 2,0 litre Kompresser engines being made, it all looks very simple as it goes together step by step.
Porsche Museum tomorrow..... or maybe not as Richard is all Car'd out.

Holy crap! I don't look at your blogg for a few days and you've done HEAPS in that time.
How lucky were you guys to get great weather for Jungfraujoch!!!
So did you end up going to the Porsche museum? I guess your next blogg will say. :)
Anyway, not much is happening here in little ole Adelaide - except the World Police & Fire Games start this weekend (and I'm in the dragon boat race - representing the firies - should be a hoot!)
Well bye for now.

Hi Richard and Bronte
Seems that you were most impressed with the Porsche musuem. It appears that you are on the go most of the time and it would not be a trip for older people to go on as it is too fast paced. Lucky you are both young and fit. Only another few days and you will be back home. Hope the rest of your trip is enjoyable.
Lots of love Mum
