Ramandan began today and after a two year streak of arriving on this day, I am not in the Middle East! I happily drank coffee and ate breakfast today and am giving thanks that I am not in a country where it is illegal to be seen doing those things in public.
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
You must be glad you are not near Indonesia right now. Lots of big earthquakes in the last few days. I would not want to be up in that high tower during a quake.
