Düsseldorf - One of Germany's economic workhorses.

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.

We continued our stroll back to the old town area and had dinner on the banks of the Rhine before turning in for the night and heading to Vienna.
