Finally, My First Benz has Arrived
Continuing our global tour to learn something new, our next stop is Mannheim Germany, where I had a chance to finally ride in my first Benz.
Mannheim is a city located in south-west Germany at the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar rivers. The first mention of the city was in 766 BC. Surprisingly it is the place where you will find the second-largest baroque palace in Europe (Versailles in France is number 1).
