Why isn't Dusseldorf a small town? Because it's Dusseldorf not Dusseldwarf! Get it? Dusseldwarf? haaaa :)

Dusseldorf: First worry, where’s the currywurst? You want to know how you can tell this is Ty once again writing the post? Because that joke would be lucky to even be called lame.

However, while we are on the subject of Currywurst…let’s take a brief moment to show you why I started my post with this.

mmmm….the best meal of all time. (Other than Döner Kebab of course)

And if you don’t like curry (*cough* Kelsie *cough*) you can always get it with just ketchup to enjoy the best bratwurst in Europe. This is what we ate first and ate last in city centre and it was delicious all four times we had it ;) The fries (or pommes frites) were salted perfectly and the meal could be bought for less than 3.50 euro ($4.75 people), that is why every time the line to it was five people long at least.

But enough about the food, let's see why Dusseldorf was the city to go and sit on one of the most important rivers in Germany. The Rhein river is an expanse of water that flows from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea 700+ miles. It is also the place where people in Dusseldorf love to hang out, have a brew, and eat at the amazing amount of shops and restaurants. They actually had a 150 meter long table for you to eat at right next to the river while the soccer game was going. 

Here is a good picture we took of the tower and bridge that overlooks the river and all of its glory.

After we saw the Rhein, we walked around the city centre and looked at all the buildings it had to offer.

Can you tell what is wrong with this picture before scrolling down and seeing the answer? Hint. It was caused by a cannon ball and they could not "quite" fix it.










Ready for the answer?

There is a slight bend to the tower and had it not been for Kelsie's friend Katja, who was showing us around with some very interesting facts about the city, we would have missed it. She was full of stories and I would like to thank them once again for showing us all the cool buildings and the river for the brief time that they had with us because of their packed schedules. As a tribute, here is a picture of us in front of the Rhein.

Names of people left to right: You know the first two by now,  Johanna Wilke, Alexander Gulcz, and Katja Fischer

As we ended the trip to this wondrous city of soccer fans and bratwursts, we decided to go out one last time and see the city on a quiet Sunday. This is a picture we captured of the typical European street that just makes you feel so invited and welcome.  

 I will end this post with two great pictures of the daring people who took this very long trip to Europe that was so very well planned by Kelsie (And our outfits too :)
