Stuttgart

Today was Jenni's big treat, one of many to come, I took her to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart
This is the visitor parking area at the museum.
Everything is gleaming white and the floors and walls smelled of having been recently washed .

The museum itself looks like one of those buildings in Sci-Fi movies

An early Porsche race car. If you wanted more information about it or anything else, you keyed a number into the headset and listened in your language of choice.

Bob Mutton had this exact model some years ago I think.
Is this your car Bob? 
It's the Targa with the removable top.

This 911 wass painted by an Aboriginal artist to celebrate 50 years of Porsche in Australia.

This is the car I'd want to own.
 It's one of twenty built to homologate the model for sports car racing.
 It cost 1.2 million D Marks which sounds like a lot of money

Current model 911

After dragging Jenni away from the museum, we go to downtown Stuttgart.
This is a really neat toilet providing you're not too big. Costs 50 cents.

Stuttgart is supposed to have the longest pedestrian mall in Germany - over 1 km long.

This is the New Schloss - castle - and it's now a public building.

Nice gardens in front of the schloss.
