Auf Wiedersehen Stuttgart-Weinsteige Rotary Club

Today was our last full day with Stuttgart-Weinsteige Rotary Club.
We travelled to the Back Forest (Schwartzwald) to visit HansGrohe. We were all very impressed with the technology and design behind modern bathroom fixtures. Theo was able to discuss his dissapointment at the difficulty of using some of the modern shower systems (even sometimes causing him to have a cold shower and losing sleep over trying to work out how the hot water works).
We then travelled to the Ritter Sport chocolate museum. We were given a guided tour of the architecture of the building, artwork, and the green aspects of the building - wood pellet heating, hydraulic isolation foundations and solar panel systems.

Many thanks to our individual family hosts and also the two club hosts Frieder Weitbrecht and Hans Oppermann.
Tomorrow we travel to Leutlingen-Teubingen.
