After about an hour we have settled into the autobahn driving and we are ready to go all out on the perfectly smooth, no-speed limit-having road in our fabulously pick-up free car. Sadly, while the Autobahn is lovely, rush hour seems to be the same in every country. After driving for about three hours, it’s time to stop for a snack and toilet. We pull off the exit advertising “Rasthof Pforzheim” and walk into a rest area featuring 2 Euro 50 diet cokes and a coffee stand. Erin treats us to coffee to go – me a particularly wonderful macchiato and Erin a cappuccino. I also get a buttered pretzel because of course I am starving and can’t find anything other than the pretzel and cake. We take the coffees to a side table to put the lids on (this is where Erin believes she was distracted by the complimentary piece of chocolate that came with the coffee). Then while searching out the out-of-order bathroom we notice the extremely delectable looking hot food bar. Oh, well. Since the bathroom is out of order and our little truck is holding at above half a tank of gas the rest area doesn’t hold much else for us.
