After I picked up Vince, we headed north to Ramstein to meet up with the other 2 guys and check into our hotel for the next few days. Vince is working with the guys here on base, and over at the Army base across the freeway.
On our way up north, we passed by many, many patches of black forest. Where the forest is so dense, and the trees so tall that when you are in it, it is pitch black, even in the middle of the day. It is truly pretty incredible, and beautiful! There is TONS of farmland everywhere. I literally took a ton of pics out the window of the car - acting like a total tourist that had never seen trees before. Yes, trees - amazing.
We drove thru Stuggart on our way, which is a big Army base town/city. Sutggart is also home to the HUGE Porsche factory. Not sure how we stumbled up it, but we ended up driving right thru it. There were about 50 big bldgs where people actually design and build the Porsches. There is also a big museum. there. We were actually looking for someplace to eat when we drove thru town and saw that the museum had a restaurant in it...PERFECT! So we found some parking and went in. We didn't do the full Porsche tour, as it was pretty crowded and we would have to wait a while for a tour time, so we just opted for food. It was delicious!! Bellys full, we are ready to continue our journey over to Ramstein!!
We were staying at a cute little hotel called Hotel Rosenhof right across the freeway from the base, but tucked in a little corner where it was surrounded by trees so you felt very secluded. Everyone there was super friendly all week and we would definitely recommend it and stay there again!
