Floral displays don't normally catch my attention but since it was the only thing that I could take a picture of without looking like a tourist, I did. Our work visitors this time around had to stay with the rich and famous so I had the opportunity to see the hotel lobby at least. Nice but not overwhelming. We were here six times this week for the pick-up and drop offs and the payoff came this afternoon when we were face-to-face with Paris Hilton and her boyfriend (and her dog) as they waited for their car. Then we followed them (and the police escort) out of the hotel driveway. I didn't take a picture but she was all in pink for a photo op and her boyfriend was in his standard fedora and casual slob garb. The dog was cute and fluffy. The cop was unamused.
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.
