We had so much fun on our trip and went to the pool almost daily. Tuttlingen has a fantastic pool, just in case you are interested here is the link http://www.tuwass.de/0_fr_start.htm. There is a little kids pool, a play pool, slides, lap pool, outdoor hot spring, indoor hot spring...just great fun. We generally stayed for almost two ours which left the girls so hungry. Sausage really is not an option there as it generally contains whey, and the kitchen did not know. But you know what the kids ate as a treat? Did you guess it right? The very nutritional french fry...OK, not every single day, but quite often and they both LOVED it. Of course, right?!
We also took a couple of day trips. One to Konstanz, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstanz, where we also went swimming (we really, really LOVE to swim...). After our swim we went to a nice cafe in the heart of the city. They served cake, which all was full of dairy, but offered soy milk, and sorbet. It was a hit. Both girls ate sorbet, while I indulged in a soy latte along with a piece of cake...
The other trip we took was to the Wilhelma in Stuttgart. Here are a couple of links http://www.wilhelma.de/nc/en/home.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelma. Ended up to be a beautiful day. Alena got a book about the zoo and the animals. It was a huge hit for both girls. We had packed a lunch, and as a treat the girls got some ice cream. Of course, not ice cream but an orange pop sickle. I was just so happy to see that "Caretta Orange" is still available. It is an orange pop sickle which I already loved as a kid. - Besides that we just hung out, but ordered pizza a couple of times. Because we have been back to Tuttlingen a few times already, I know the pizzerias to order from. Quite a few restaurants do add milk derivatives to their dough, or sauce, so it is always good to double check. Another favorite with the girls when eating out is Schnitzel. We order it "natur" which means not breaded, without sauce/gravy, and with french fries. If there is a salad with it (generally not for kids so) it also is on the side. In Germany cucumber salad, but also greens sometimes are served with a buttermilk like dressing...
So this was our trip in a nutshell. I will post a few pictures next week...oh, and for treats of course Gummibears, and delicious Laugenwecken (rolls) every morning :)
