Stuttgart. We rode the German ICE bullet train from Augsburg. Visited the Hamburg Fish Market and the Mercedes museum.
We're going into the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) in Augsburg, for our ride on the ICE train to Stuttgart.
Waiting for the ICE train to arrive.
Impressions of the train station and the trains.
Some trains are diesel.
A short train passes through the station without stopping.
Boarding the ICE train in Augsburg on our way to Stuttgart.
An example of how quiet it is inside the ICE (Inter City Express) train on our way to Stuttgart. It really felt like a library inside the train.
Quietly, I announce our speed. It turns out the line from Augsburg to Stuttgart is one of the slower sections of the ICE system. We reached 154 km/h (95 mph) on the way home.
This one is for our friend Oliver. I try to explain how it works in Germany to create your own electricity using photo voltaic cells on your rooftop.
I announce our speed as 154 km/h (96 mph) while riding the ICE though a city. Riding the train we never heard the crossing bells or the train's horn/whistle.
