22/03 Stuttgart, Germany

I did not sleep very well last night but I deserve it-.- Today, I took risk again that I took the train without any train ticket with me. I woke up at 06xx am-.- and I tried to sleep again but in vain. Then I went to Esslingen first, which was only 20mins away from the Stuttgart Haupbahnhof. It was a small town. I saw it on Tommy's travel book and the photos seemed quite nice. Every time the train arrived at the train station, I always looked at the platform to see if there was any train officer to check tickets... Luckily, I was not caught and fined 40Euro :) Esslingen was a small town but had a old square area so I thought there would be something beautiful to see and it was within my expectation. I kept searching the google map and found a way to that area.














 













































There was an old church. Next to it was a square, where had a open market today. Many people were buying fruits and vegetables there but I thought to buy a applne train e but it was a bit expensive. The buildings near the square were quite special. Then, I went to Burg, where was on the hill and there was a kind of wall. I went up a lot of stairs to get to the top of that hill, which was exhausting and a bit cold because it was raining.  But every time I went higher, the view was better.































































Finally, I arrived at the end of the stairway and the view was beautiful. I could see the most part of Esslingen. In summer, there should be more green plantaion on the hill. Because I saw nobody there so I had to try to take photos of myself on my own.. There was a large yard on the other side of the wall.  Afterthat, I went downstairs and headed to the statoin. I passed through that market and people at a booth waved their hands to me. I went towards them and they were selling their homecakes. Those people were students.




They were very nice and I bought a cake from them. It was so good to meet such nice student in this town and so i took a photos with them with the cakes on my hand. I tasted it and it was good. Then I said goodbye to them and this nice town and went to Mecedes-Benz Museum !!!! Unfortunately, I found there was no train that stopped at the Benz station and I needed to get off at Bad Cannstutt and I needed to walked to there under the rain!!! and I walked for 20mins and my hair got wet. I got lost and went to a wrong direction. So, I decided to go to the Pig museum first called Schweinemuseum. The ticket costed 5Euro. It exhibited many pigs things.










































Then, I walked again from the pig museum to Mecedes-Benz museum. Student ticket was 4 Euro. The lobby was very modern. The lift was very 22-century. The lift stopped at the toppest floor, which display a lot of old, classic cars and engines. I could also find a lot of history of Mecedes-Benz too.

















On every floor, many different kinds of car even the old bus, trucks, taxi could be found there. There was a corridor between each floor where a lot of pictures of big world history and history of Mecedes-Benz were displayed, which was somehow a timeline of history.




















































































When I got to the lowest few floors, I was shocked because I found a lot of supercars. Those cars were really beautiful.















































































There were many concept cars which was awesome. I spent almost 3 hours in the museum. I left the museum at 1530 and I needed to go to Zuffenhausen to take the meinferbus back to Mannheim at 1630. I was panicked because I needed to walk to the S-bahn which was a bit far back to Stuttgart Haupbahnhof first and take another line to Zuffenhausen. I thought I did not have time because if one train left, I must be late and need to wait for 2hours... At Stuttgart Haupbahnhof, I kept seraching for the right line and platform. Lucily, I did not need to wait long and finally got to the bus station at 1625 lol and I had a big sleep on the bus to Mannheim.
