Düsseldorf

We November 1 - All Saints day - a public holiday in southern Germany and Mia with a one week fall break we decided to go for a mini vacation to Düsseldorf. The city is the capitol of North Rhine Westphalia and got top rankings in some "best towns to live in the world" rankings. Also our old friend Claudia lives there.
It was raining pretty hard on our first afternoon and we met Claudia and her boyfriend in a brew pubg were we tries the local Alt beer - Mia tried a lemonade

 After the rain had stopped we walked around in the old twon a bit

The next morning we walked along the  Köningsallee of Kö a famous high end shopping  street tying to find an ATM

We ended up in the old town and tried the ferries wheel which offered some nice views

Apparently Düsseldorf was famous for boys who made meoey by showing their cart wheels. Mia tried some too but didn't get any money

We walked to the parliament building on the Rhine and the TV tower

We had dinner at another brew pub after buying a basket ball for Mia

Saturday we checked out an aquarium everybody had recommended

The zoo in Heidelberg has no penguins or shark and many other animals that need an aquarium so it was nice to see those at the Aquazoo
