Stuttgart - Day 7 & Sasbachwalden Day 8

What started as another day of chasing chargers for our stubborn electric car—lovingly nicknamed Pearl—turned into a mix of chaos and laughter. Between running on empty, pouring rain, and five charging stops, we somehow squeezed in a spontaneous meet-up with my friend Daniel for Kaffee und Kuchen, a broken liquor bottle incident, and a much-needed Döner dinner with him and his wife. The next morning in Sasbachwalden brought a peaceful reset: breakfast with stunning hillside views, a foggy and mysterious Black Forest hike, and a few quirky photo stops—including a creepy playground and a pay-to-pee restroom. We ended the long day in Köln, recharged (literally and figuratively) with sushi and sore feet.
