Downtown Dusseldorf. The twisted tower to the left has a story behind it. The tiles were put on wet and when they dried the tower twisted. The legend goes that it will not straighten itself until a virgin is married in the church. The smaller tower to the left is currently a nautical museum.
This square is found downtown Dusseldorf in the Alstadt which is the old part of town. Streets are all cobblestone, narrow, and full of shops and pubs in the Alstadt. The statue of the horse and rider is of a past Prince. The horseman is surrounded by an iron fence painted in real gold.
This is our first afternoon in Dusseldorf after we have had a nap. We are downtown Kaiserwerth which is a small village/suburb in Dusseldorf. This is where my brother and sister-in-law live. The village is very quaint and is within walking distance (10 minutes) from their place. There are lots of places to eat outside in Dusseldorf. Eva is holding up her german dictionary and was able to translate the menu for us. Daniel is sleeping under the umbrella. I am drinking Schwepp's Bitter Lemon and it was definitely bitter!
