There are few places that make London seem like a bargain. Russia is one, Oman is another. But for the most part, Europe is cheaper than the UK. So it comes as a shock that as I look around for places to go on my upcoming time away from work, that I can't afford the hotels right now! First, I did totally score on two free hotel nights in Warsaw. I was able to use my points for a promotional special that was above and beyond great. Then I started looking. Milan? No free nights and hotels were averaging $400 per night. Must be a fashion event. Lisbon? Nope, peak tourist season, all sold out. Marseille? $300 plus. Fine, Brussels must work - no! worse than France! I have time, I'll figure this out. But who knew that London for under $200 a night would ever look so good?
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.
