Thursday: Car and Castle

Traded walking for driving today. Picked up rental car at Hauptbahnhof. Being Stuttgart, rental cars were Mercedes, and we were upgraded to an S320 CDI (ask Austin). – black. Cruises easily at 160 km/hr.

Drove to Schloss Lichtenstein – an old castle built into the rocks. Very old – medieval (even a bit creepy!).

Drove through the beautiful German countryside. But we got tired and stopped by a sunflower field. Turned out to be by a nice stream also.

Konstanz did not look far on the map, so we told the lady in the GPS to take us there. But she could not find a restaurant for us. Absolutely beautiful countryside, though.

Then drove back to Stuttgart on the Autobahn. Had to get Mom to drive too.
