We got on the plane on time, and it seemed like it was good to go but then we got the "We have a slight problem" comment, fortunately it was a short delay.
Off we went in the big aluminum tube.
Oh, look at that there must be another bike nut sitting over there, I wonder who that could be.
We got to fly over all the exclusive places, British West Hartlepool to name but a few.
Then on into Frankfurt; after walking about five miles we met up with our luggage. The luggage was intended to be carry on but an over zealous check in clerk was being pedantic.
So we waited and we waited, eventually we got the bags and set off on another monumental trek to get the rental car.
That was an experience in itself, it has all kinds of ECO shit on board, it turns the engine off at stop lights, it has a nine speed transmission and is diesel!
Go Figure.
Off we went to Duseldorf, not much traffic to start but it got busy as we got closer.
The GPS was totally confused by the road closures in the center of Dusseldorf, fortunately I wasn't.
We made it to the hotel OK and of course they only had one room ready.
The luggage was deposited in one room and we decided to walk around until the second one was available.
Man was it cold!
It was so cold that this outdoor restaurant had a giant video screen with a blazing fire. I swear you could feel the heat.
Of course it begs the question "Why eat outside when it is so cold"
On we went and took a couple of pictures in the old city hall square.
I wonder if we know anyone who has ridden on this Carousel?
Or
Been in this cozy little bar?
When we got back to the hotel it was time to unpack, that's when I found my Ukulele babes waiting.
Work on Monday, more soon from the road when we get back.
