Day 29-Düsseldorf Part 2

So, it's my second day in Düsseldorf and it was at times a bit frustrating navigating the Rheinbahn (public transportation system). Tomorrow we'll be in a bit of bind because there is not a bus that goes to the airport early enough to catch our flight so we are going to have to sleep at the airport instead! This sort of sucks because for one it definitly will not be comfortable but two because we cannot get a refund for the 3rd day we paid for our hotel. I still haven't quite figured out how to travel cheaply (by avoiding unnecessary expenses due to transportation issues). By the time I have it figured out it will be time to go back to the states -- if I have it figured out by then. Being in Europe is a lot of fun. The German people are very nice to talk to. Many speak English and all automatically assume that I speak German which is cool because I look like I fit right in over here.

I am not sure how this area of Germany differs in attitude-culture etc. from other cities. I am assuming that Eastern Germans act differently but I could be mistaken. I would like to go there too, but I doubt I will have enough time or money to travel to all of those places.

As I mentioned in previous posts, I have 4 more trips already planned, France, Italy, Sweden and Norway ... but I want to see more, Holland, Belguim, Spain, Scotland, Russia, Austria, Hungry and Poland. But, I don't have the time off or funds to support such travels. However, now that I have been to Europe, and I have a passport I think that I will be able to come back over in the future and see more places...time will tell.

Well, I guess I don't really have much more to say right now. I didn't feel like uploading any of my pictures today but Monday when I get back to London I will do it. I took pictures of the Rhein, the FunFair on the Rhein and a parade of marching bands which was at the Alstadt (Old Town). That was really neat because they all had different costumes on and carried flags etc. I also got some weird OLD postcards from the Flea Market this morning. Some of them are from as old as 1905.

So until next time...

Gute Nacht!
