    Dusseldorf

    April 13 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Na heel wat stress en een krop in de keel bij de laatste vaarwel uiteindelijk vertrokken richting Dusseldorf..

    15 graden en veel wind lachtten mij tegemoet op de snelweg richting Duitsland. Weliswaar van korte duur.
    Na een korte lunch stonden donkergrijze wolken reeds te lachen in de verte.. 2 uur nattigheid onvermijdelijk..😅

    Eenmaal aangekomen in Dusseldorf enkel mooi weer!
    Nog een grofweg 6000 stappen in de beentjes om ergens iets te vinden om te eten, om vervolgens te gaan rusten voor de komende dag!

    Stellplatz am Rhein 🚤⚓️🚐🌞

    April 2 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Es geht ein ganzes Stück nördlich in den Ort Zons. Der Womoparkplatz ist okay und hatten am gestrigen Nachmittag eine nette Unterhaltung am Womo, über und mit dem Womo.
    Später gehen wir noch eine Runde am Deich entlang und genießen die Aussicht.
    Wir bleiben einen weiteren Tag und werden uns morgen die kleine Altstadt anschauen.

    Die ehemalige kurkölnische Zollfeste Zons, von Erzbischof Friedrich III. von Saarwerden im 14. Jahrhundert gegründet, gilt in ihrem hervorragenden Erhaltungszustand als einzigartiges Beispiel einer befestigten mittelalterlichen Stadt im Rheinland. Besonders sehenswert ist der mächtige Rheinturm aus dem Jahre 1388. Aber auch der Juddeturm mit seiner barocken Haube und die Windmühle mit ihrem noch originalen hölzernen Mahlwerk aus dem 17. Jahrhundert sind neben dem Rheinanlegeplatz und den Stadtmauern beliebte Fotomotive. Seiner historischen Bedeutung gerecht, spielt das „rheinische Rothenburg“ heute eine wichtige Rolle im kulturellen Leben des Rhein-Kreises Neuss.

  • Day 48

    A Day in D'Dorf

    July 7, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Today we got up and decided to head to Aldi to see what we could grab for breakfast. We found all my favourite foods and there was a massive range of pastries to choose from. We got 2 each and headed back to the apartment. We then headed to a river cruise along the Rhine. We got a nice seat on the top level, it was a beautiful day. The cruise was only an hour but we got to see some of the city and Erin got a beer.
    We then visited tourist information to see if there were any must see spots. We got some old school maps and headed back to make our own plan. We headed towards the art gallery K21. It was an interesting experience... There was potentially more security guards than art work and majority of the work was different. There were a few really good exhibits but some were very weird including animations of people crying, drawings that looked like they were done by 5 year olds and photos of mountains. Please see the video of my favourite art piece though. We also went into a paid exhibition accidentally which was the one we enjoyed most ironically.
    Next we walked to the parliament building and past these cool apartment buildings. We stopped for lunch and Erin had the worlds biggest schnitzel. We then walked along the Rhine promenade and saw where they were doing the pole vaulting. Back in the main town the 3x3 basketball tournament had started so we watched one of those games.
    We went back to the accommodation, got changed and headed back out. Erin took me on her own version of a free walking tour and we saw some lovely buildings. She even bought me a beer as you are allowed to open carry here. We found a nice seat overlooking the Rhine and had a beer. We then watched another basketball game while enjoying a beer. The quality of the competition was really good. The amount of people who had embraced the free merch from IMG was incredible, everyone in orange bucket hats or fedoras.
    Next stop was a bar we'd seen earlier which had 2 for 1 cocktails. We had a watermelon cocktail and then a pina colada. They were both very good. Then we had a 1€ shot because yolo.
    We grabbed another beer and sat down to watch a few more games before going for a late snack dinner as we were so full still.
    We had a pretzel and spinach bread dumplings which were delicious. We headed home after this, it was 30 degrees and had been a big walking day!

  • Day 4

    A cozy farewell to Cologne

    March 30 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    I woke up to a colder, cloudier morning—quite the contrast to yesterday’s sunshine—but that wasn’t going to stop me from enjoying my last full day in Cologne.

    I left the apartment early to make time for a quick stop at Kaffeesaurus before breakfast. Located at Friesenplatz, it’s a favorite for coffee lovers and brunch-goers alike. They roast their own beans, and the place was already buzzing with people fueling up for the day.

    From there, I strolled through the Belgian Quarter, making my way to Balthasar on Aachener Straße for breakfast. Our group—Carola, Alex, Tobi, Chris, and Timo—took over a big table in the bright, airy atrium at the back of the restaurant. Unlike yesterday, there were no surprise guests this time, just a relaxed morning of good food and conversation.

    After breakfast, I decided to walk back to Ehrenfeld through Cologne’s Green Belt. Despite the grey sky, it was a beautiful, peaceful walk. Before heading back to the apartment, I made one last coffee stop at Kaffeebud Ehrenfeld. This cozy little café serves Heilandt coffee, a local roaster I discovered on my last visit to Cologne. The perfect way to wrap up my coffee adventures in the city.

    The afternoon was calm—just some downtime to catch up on emails—before heading out for an end-of-day beer with Karl.

    For my final dinner in Cologne, I made my way to Haus Schnackertz in Nippes, where Alex and I closed out my visit with a classic Cologne-style meal. For me, that meant Sauerbraten, paired with some Kölsch and one last round of good conversation.

    And just like that, my time in Cologne came to an end—full of great coffee, great food, and even better company.

  • Day 3

    Graffiti, Beans and Friends

    March 29 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Day two of my Germany adventure started the best way possible—with a craving for coffee. After last night’s amazing schnitzel, I woke up ready to explore Ehrenfeld, one of Cologne’s coolest neighborhoods, and check out its local coffee scene.

    The weather was perfect, so I took my time strolling down Venloer Straße, soaking up the sun and stopping often to admire the street art. Ehrenfeld is packed with graffiti and murals, and every corner seemed to have something new to look at—bright colors, bold designs, and little details that made the walk feel like a mini art tour.

    My first coffee stop was Schamong, Cologne’s oldest roastery. It’s a small, super cozy spot that somehow blends old-school charm with a modern touch. The staff really knew their stuff, and the coffee? Absolutely spot on. Great service, great vibes—definitely the kind of place I could’ve hung out in for hours.

    Next up was Cologne’s Roastery, which had a more modern, spacious feel. The coffee was just as good, but something about it didn’t quite click for me the way Schamong did. Maybe it was the atmosphere? The warmth? Hard to say, but I found myself missing that little extra personality.

    With two coffees down, it was time to find breakfast. Wandering through streets lined with trees and blooming flowers, I ended up at Café Franck, where I met Lisa, Alex, and Chris. Good food, great company, and a slow morning—exactly what I needed. Then, completely out of the blue, another good friend, Franzi, showed up. She had a reservation there too, with visitors of her own. Totally unplanned, but such a fun surprise. And as it turned out, not the only surprise of the day…

    To be continued.
