Dusseldorf was great today again. We had a short period of rain but temperature was much better and very little wind. The sun came out a couple times too. We went to the Media Harbor area- renovated old warehouse area on the harbor. There are a lot of new architecturally significant buildings there- including Frank Gehry buildings. We then went up to the top of the Rheinturm Tower 168 meters high above to look over the city and then spent the rest of the day meandering the streets of the Karlstadt & Altstadt areas. Off to Brussels tomorrow!


Don't ask!!

Great old buildings


Beautiful picture with the sun trying to come out behind the Rheinturm Tower
