Pickup was earlier at 8am as we have a long drive of 2.5hrs to Nurnberg.
Thought it was my chance to experience the German autobahn but unfortunately, a lot of locals and EU tourists were are on the roads traveling for their summer holiday. Max speed we managed on the company car (VW golf) was only 180km/h on the way to Nurmberg.
Nurmberg is a nice little charming city as compared to the more cosmopolitan Frankfurt. It is known as the “toy capital of Germany” as some of the german toy companies are headquartered here. However, I think Nurnberg should be more appropriately known as “stationery capital of Germany” cos companies in the like of Stadler, Stabilo are also headquartered here. My Nurnberg colleague was sharing with me Stadler is also producing eye pencils for the cosmetics companies. Surprise! Surprise!
We spent an hour or so preparing for our up-coming meeting in the afternoon.
Had a quick bite at the Nurnberg airport before heading for our ultimate destination of the day- ADIDAS HQ in Herzogenaurach, 15mins away from Nurnberg.
After the meeting, we snapped a few pictures around the Adidas building before heading out to the Adidas factory outlet nearby.

It was my first time there and the experience was awesome (same feeling when I visited Oakley HQ 4 years back).
