July 18th - Dusseldorf, Germany


We arrived in Dusseldorf at around 12:30 in the morning and managed to get a family room at the Park Inn where we stayed last year.  It was 11:00am before any of us woke up and we were all feeling pretty groggy (I had to get caught up on my course since I hadn’t been online for a couple of days).   We arranged a late check out and enjoyed a swim to stretch our bodies and get rejuvenated.

Oliver called to his relatives and we were happy to hear they were home for the day and we could visit after our check-out.  We spent a lovely afternoon catching up with both of Oliver’s uncles and his Aunt.  The girls loved the afternoon tea party as they received generous helpings of delicious strawberry cakes and pastries.
It was a great way to close our trip by getting to spend more time with family – it really is the most important thing in life!

We are now on currently driving to Brussels, Belgium which is only 2 hours from Dusseldorf.  We are planning to spend some time touring the city tomorrow, but most importantly – eating Belgian chocolates!  We’ve booked a family hotel just 5 km outside of the city…so we’ll have to explore some transit routes to make our way into the city centre.
