Busy weekend...as usual

After a bit of advise from a colleague, the plan was to see Esslinen & Rosenstein on saturday and Marien platz(Bier fest and Dinkelacker) on sunday.

Saturday morning arrives...as usual i wake up late and sit down to ponder over the stuttgart map to find out the way to Esslingen. Experience makes things easy for me now.

I reach in about 20mins and...........

Rathausplatz is the center of the area. I did not make out anything special from the monument but it was good to see an Indian flag outside alongside 4 other different flags.

You can also witness a romantic scene in the picture below(if u can really focus or zoom and see :)). I continued my journey to see a lot of shops...and 90% of them as usual for food. This is the place where the Neckar flows through and its a real picnic area for the people. you can see innumerable people just relaxing and cut off from the world. a little later i set off to see the fort on theing e hill. after seeing a lot of beautiful forts in pune, this was obviously disappointing...absolutely nothing when compared to pune. but a lot of walking made me so tired that i wanted to skip Rosenstein and get back home.

Reaching Bad Canstatter i found a beautiful route to Feuerbach(my home) through a natural park...a 5 km walk thru a beautiful park so full of trees...so i walked and after a long time came out of the park to Loweturburg, very near to Feuerbach....i came out and looked back..name said "Rosenstein park"

So sometimes God is on your side and makes a trip successful. I came back exhausted and just slept off waiting for a beautiful sunday to come by.

Sunday turned out to be horrifying......so many things to do, washing, cleaning, ironing, cooking. after doing all this i really have a respect for Indian women who are patient enough to do so much of household work. working for a company to make money is a much easier job!!!

After a day full of boring work, i wanted to visit some vineyards on the hills. a small trek but an interesting one led me surprisingly to the vineyards as well as a Bosch hospital. wonder what it was doing on the top of a hill.

I visited another part of the Rosenstein with some beautiful fountains and small pools with a lot of children playing and enjoying themselves.

Future plans are much more interesting...Brussels, Hannover, Munich, Italy........list goes on. Hope the Eurotrip brings some fresh life into my life.
