Saturday, 27 June 2009: Stuttgart

Yesterday: Flözlingen and Bernhausen

Our ambitious-yet-relaxing plan: take the S-Bahn from the airport into Stuttgart, have lunch at Calwer-Eck, and stroll through the beer gardens in the "Green U".

Calwer-Eck-Bräu, Stuttgart

Two small beers were plenty on top of the massive plate of schwäbisch meats, sausages, potatoes, and sauerkraut. It was already starting to feel like time for a nap.

We wandered around Stuttgart-Mitte in the neighborhood of the Neues Schloss.

We found a beer garden outside the Hotel am Schlossgarten and had a beer each. We were all so tired by then, we decided to walk the three blocks to the train station, head back to the hotel, and get ready for our 6:30am flight home.

Still, it was a successful and fun trip. And it looks like we'll be going back in October!
