Guten tag! Today was my only full day in Germany and I think we
definitely used our time wisely. We woke up kind of late in the morning,
took our time showering and getting ready and eating breakfast. We hung
around the house for a little while and then come afternoon we left to
take a train to Dusseldorf.
We met up with a few others and we just kind
of wandered around the city a bit. We stopped at a restaurant for a
little bit for drinks and then we got döners. If you aren’t aware of
what a döner is, google image search it and you’ll be informed! They’re
huge and they’re delicious and that’s all that matters. After our
döners, we went shopping to a store called Primark for me because it’s
very chilly here and I didn’t really have the proper clothes. I borrowed
a jacket, but I brought dresses, so I was bound to be freezing. (I
wasn’t expecting the temperature in Germany to be so different from
Italy, but I should have thought about it a little more.) Once I bought a
few things it was already getting late, so we headed back to the train
and went back to Krefeld.
When we got back to Krefeld, we had dinner at
Fiona’s and then got ready for the evening. Our evening plan was to go
back to Dusseldorf with some friends and sit along the Rhine river. And
we did just that, but it was very chilly and it started to drizzle a
little bit. We sat a while longer because we were having a nice time,
but everyone was getting cold and it was getting late anyway. We took
the train back to Krefeld, but by that time, we were hungry again, so
what did we get to eat you ask? Döners, of course! What else?
After our
second round of döners, we caught our bus to go home. It doesn’t sound
like a very eventful day, but I’m exhausted. It was a very enjoyable day
though, so I’d say it was worth it. The next time I blog, I’ll be back
in my apartment in Italy, so until then–Auf Wiedersehen!
