Guten Morgen,

Day 6 and today we are driving for 3 hrs from Berlin to Weimar.

The good things about self-drive is you could book your hotel anywhere aka not restricted to main cities.

For us, we chosen Weimar as our night stop for tonight.
For you, you could chose Erfurt or anything.

Feel the freedom @ Weimar or Erfurt?




Gratitude!

Guten Morgen.

Day 7 and we are driving 450km to visit Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen.

Some logistic info: you need to book well in advanced.
English speaking tour start at 10:30 and the restaurant open early for breakfast too. Bring along a good walking shoes as the guided tour will last for 2 hours.

After the tour, you could try out the F1 simulator too.

For anyone who is working or interested in Industrial 4.0, this factory tour will be an eye opener.  

Try it!  Easy free parking right next to the entrance of the visitor entrance.



Gratitude!

Guten Morgen, 
Waking up to a cool morning and the air is so fresh.
We are at Friedrichshafen and today, we are going for a day trip from Germany to Switzerland.
We plan to visit the largest waterfall in Europe - Rhine Falls. 

First, for safety reason, we need to revise the road signs for Switzerland.  Yes, its rather different from Singapore. Take note and remember these signs, please.



Next, we will need to buy a toll ticket to enter Switzerland. Some valuebuddies would try to avoid paying the toll (about CHF40) by traveling on smaller road which don't need to pay toll. Well, this works but there is another even better approach.

Look at your rental car wind screen, do you noticed that there is already one? (see below picture. 19 means 2019)

For my case, I actually stopped at the Service station and getting ready my credit card to buy the Vignette (toll ticket) that I realised that my car not only have one, but two identical Vignette.

If I buy another one, then there will be three. 



Thanks for reading.
Gratitude!

Guten Morgen, 

Day 9 Four hours drive Friedrichshafen thru Liechtenstein thru Switzerland to Italy Milan.

This is a long drive and we should stopped at Liechtenstein for early lunch or at least a short stretched.

Thereafter, crossing Switzerland into Italy via Alps which is another million dollar picture stopped.



Gratitude.
