We woke up and went to brunch at the place where my friend’s boyfriend works. Then she took us around Stuttgart to do some tourist stuff. She showed us a lookout point near where she used to live and we did a lot of walking around. We stopped at the Stuttgart wine festival and Wardell and my friend had one glass, then we headed to a different Irish pub for a birthday party.
We decided to stay an extra day in Germany because my friend only had to work for a couple hours on Monday. However, she realized she actually had more to do that day, so on Monday morning she let us know that she was busy and we could explore on our own. We woke up and had breakfast, then went back to take a nap and slept a lot longer than expected. We realized how tired we had been because the entire trip was “go, go, go.” I went to make sure everything was packed up and ready, and the zipper on my big backpack broke! The one with all of my clothes in it! So I had to go find a new suitcase, since we couldn’t really take the broken backpack with us to Iceland.
We went to TK Maxx (TJ Maxx in Germany) and I grabbed the biggest and cheapest suitcase they had. I was actually concerned about not having enough space, but when I transferred my clothes to it, there was actually more than in my backpack!
We napped again (it was a pretty lazy day), and then decided to go to the TV tower, which is essentially the space needle of Stuttgart. They even have a restaurant up there! We took the bus to get there and went to the base to get some pictures and into the gift shop, but did not pay to go to the top or eat there.
The night before, we were told that there was trivia at the Irish pub we went to the first night, which is very close to my friend’s place. So we decided to head there and try the trivia. It was just the 2 of us, and the questions were very difficult, but it was fun. However, after round 5 of 10, we both realized how tired we were and headed back to my friend’s house.
