When we arrived in Dusseldorf, it was 6:00 in the morning German time, while midnight for us Tante Christiane picked us up and we went back to their place for a sleep. The weather was cool and rainy...perfect for touring!
The hotel at Park Inn was lovely – we had a family suite that was spacious and looked like Ikea. The pool and fitness centre were under renovation for the week, so we were not available for our use, and there were no other pools in the city - -we were glad it was not too hot!
We returned for dinner at Tante Christiane and Uncle Heinz's apartment. His paintings and artwork are everywhere and we all quickly picked out our favourites. It's unfortunate that Uncle Heinz's lungs are causing him so much discomfort – nevertheless, he was a superb host and lots of fun to be around. The girls think he's great! Luckily tante Christane is a super woman and is able to take care of everyone and everything. She helped us with getting around town, preparing meals,planning our trip etc...and she works full time!
It was also wonderful to have Oma with us as she was able to share her childhood experiences and places with us all and made this part of our trip extra special.
Mik – The apartment looked cool because of all the paintings – I liked the painting of the clouds because when I looked at it hard, it looked like it was moving
They took really good care of us and made yummy dinner for us.
Zoe – The bed was really comfy and pillows were really big and I was really tired!
Oliver – I liked catching up with my aunt and uncle, drinking tea, and chatting
