Today felt wasted. We turned up at Stuttgart, and by no surprise, the museum was closed. We had a look around what turned out to be a used Porsche lot, but they all looked entirely brand new. They were tantalizingls cheap too. I felt a bit inferior around all the suits entirely as if we were not entitled to be there. Hopefully that feeling will one day pass. We left for our next destination. More KM's. We needed some bread and gas canisters, so we programmed 'Juliet' to look for a super market. We left the autobahn and stumbled on a hardware chain called OBI. We figured this would be more likely to yield gas canisters. Nup. We walked around for 15 minutes. SO close, smaller & larger gas canisters, gas cookers (which included 2 canisters), but none of the extremely popular one we used. It looks as if they had sold out. We bought bread at the front of the hardware store and headed on back to the highway. We chose to try a supermarket chain that resembled Aldi, but was maybe cal
led Lidel. Turning left into the driveway, the steering bound up a bit. Nothing alarming, but it wasn't normal. I've since adjusted the offending ball-joint and it's not done it since. Isn't it funny, the only non-genuine Toyota bit on this rig is the bit that's failing. Can you imagine the look on the mechanic's face when I return to have them replaced again, having only done 25,000KM in 6 months. One would think by looking at out blog posts that we have a strange affiliation or affection with M&M's. Nope, they are just available all over... including the hardware store. Would you believe these ones taste slightly different? Different market, different tastes I suspect.

ReplyDeletegermany sounds fantastic, beer and meat and bueatiful gir, um mountains, loving it
I'm surprised you didn't find an Aldi as that is where it originates from. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm told Cadbury tastes different in the UK too but didn't notice it. Why don't you do another taste test?
ReplyDeleteRemember doing a foreign trip with a 12 year old. Afraid "must see" locations became shops selling M&Ms as he deemed much of the delicious local cusine unsuitable for his taste buds. Fortunately, we managed to lurch around finding a sufficient mix of food & M&M's to keep him fed & me sane.
