Hi Mummy,
today we visited Düsseldorf, the capital city of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The city is situated on the River Rhine and is renowned for its many events and also for its fashion and trade fairs.
We went there by train and walked to the town centre.
We saw this interesting pyramide, a fountain which is put out of service in winter,
this is a church, Johannekirche.
This is an equestrian sculture showing Emperor Wilhelm I, one of the former German Emperors, who lived from 1797 until 1888 A.D.
We reached Königsalle, the most famous shopping street here. They have stores of the world famous designers here. Königsallee is called "KÖ" here.
The small river Duessel is running through the town.
From here we walked to Altstadt (old town). Here you can see the town hall.
From here it is not far to river Rhine.
This is the Landtag of the state North Rhine-Westphalia, the provincial government, also situated at the river Rhine.
Here you can see an information board regarding to Rhine tower.
In Germany they definitely have too many traffic signs, even on footways.
Now you can see Rhine Tower.
It was already getting dark than. The river lookes so beautiful with the sun going down that we made more pictures.
Sunset in the haven.
We walked along the backside of the Landtag, here a library is situated.
When we returned to Altstadt all the pubs at the waterfront were illuminated.
We went back into Altstadt.
Katja and her friend hat a few delicious beers later and an even more delicious mojito.
Bye
Kelly Bear
