Düsseldorf and home

Dawn over the rail bridge from our cabin. As BA have cancelled our original flight we have an extra 3 hours here in Cologne before the coach comes to take us to Düsseldorf, so chance for another walk around in a much less crowded atmosphere, although still had to avoid the crocodiles of young school children, bicycles and electric scooters. The scooters are the main risk, they are quiet and very fast and apart from those actually being used, there are even more just left on the pavements. Walked across the bridge, the bridge is guarded by 4 Prussian Generals, one at each corner. Impossible to estimate the number of padlocks, there is minimal room left to attach any new ones. After a few photos we came back and the cathedral was open so we were able to have a good look inside this time. Wandered around around the town, but Monday seems to be a closing day for the main shops and just the cheap souvenir shops open. Back on the boat for a snack lunch and a 3hour wait!Read more
