Not much of an update, we weren't long in Dusseldorf and there's not a lot to see.
The city has 2 distinct areas, the old town in the north and the new area on the water front in the southern part of the CBD. There's also a leafy main boulevard, with a canal called Königsallee roughly halfway between the two and a little east of the Rhine river.
The first night we wandered upto the old twon to find somewhere for dinner, and a bit of a look around.
A few shops were still open so we did some window shopping and I did some window shopping of the many, many Porsches, Mercs, BMWs, and even Ferraris and Aston Martins that are everywhere.
The second day we had a little sleep in and did some washing. Afterwards we wandered down to the waterfront area and saw some funky buildings by various architects including Frank Gehry.
Probably won't get a job with the Dusseldorf Tourism Promotion Board, but we are enjoying the trip! S & D P
