When we switched on the TV when we came to the hotel in Stuttgart we realised all of a sudden that we would not be able to see any football at all in Basel three days later. Half of the match had passed and Russia had a lead with 2-0. Sweden performed not too well and lost the game. The result meant that there would be the Netherlands versus Russia in the quarter finals, and our vouchers had all of a sudden become worthless.

As is our tradition in Stuttgart we went to Bad Cannstatt to take a bath in the Mineralbad Bad Cannstatt. This was the 5th time for me in Stuttgart, so I have visited the bath 5 times. Pictures 3-7 depict Böblingen, a small city close to Stuttgart. Photos 8 and 9 show the Mercedes City of Sindelfingen. The last pictures are from the Main Railway Station of Stuttgart.
