Today marked our final day in Rotterdam. We checked off one more stadium which was the home team of Feyenoord Rotterdam. It was absolutely great to see the passion Rotterdam has for their team. We ended the day with our final dinner together and recapped on the trip. It truly has been great.

Today was a very nice easy going morning. We met with our tour guide Alex at the city of Delft which was absolutely wonderful. It was a small slow moving town and was a perfect example of an old Dutch town. We then spent another few hours at Kinderdijk which was a great experience. Today [...]

We checked off our final automobile manufacturing tour today at Audi. I believe this tied with Porsche as far as which on was my favorite but seeing the body panels be produced at Audi was something I have not seen before.

Today was all about Porsches and the Taycan/911 manufacturing lines. The difference between the two lines was substantial when it came to volume and technology. The Taycan was much modern but the 911 had much more volume to meet higher order volumes. Pretty interesting and a lot of history.
