Yesterday was Long Night of the Museums in Stuttgart. One of the highlights were the Porsche Museum and the Daimler Museum. But there were also locations opened where you cannot get in normally. One of such museums was the one at Alcatel Lucent, where I work 20 years ago (not at the museum, but at some machines you could see there). You see i.a. a PBX from the beginning of the 20th century in action (ok, this machine was devoloped before my time at Alcatel Lucent) and an old phone booth with coin slots which remembered me at my youth.

At the harbour of Stuttgart you could take a boat tour but there were so many people and you have to wait about 30 minutes. So we decided to take one of the buses labeled with "Wine Tour" and to visit an old wine press and a wine cellar in Untertürkheim, which was a bunker in former times.

To go back home we used an old tram to get to the train station. All in all it was a great night which was too short.
