A Walk To The Rheinturm, Düsseldorf, Germany - 29th July 2023
Waking up fairly late leaves only a few hours to kill before getting the train back to the airport, but it's enough time for the 1½ mile walk to the Rheinturm - the iconic 170 metre-high concrete TV tower by the river. Then, it's back to the Hauptbahnhof - with a short stop on the way to watch a protest march - for the train to the airport and a delayed flight back to the UK.

Nosher's bedroom on the sixth floor
The Pieper building on Graf Adolf Straße
Some geese cross the road on Haroldstraße
Curious building renovations near Police Central
Concrete under Rheinkniebrucke
A nice view of the Rheinturm TV tower
A bird flies over the top of the Rheinturm
The view from 168 metres up
It's disconcerting to look straight down the tower
The Rhine as it flows through Düsseldorf
The Hauptbahnhof is sort-of in the middle
Construction cranes in the city
The observation deck
A view from the base of the Rheinturm
There's a cool old crane on the riverside
An old dockside crane
A ferry is crammed with exercise bikes
There's a Woodstock from Snoopy in the window
An old building from 1915
Time for lunch at a food tent under Rheinkniebrucke
There's some sort of festival going on
Nosher's first bratwurst of the day
Skate ramps under the flyover
A couple of cyclists whizz past some graffiti
The Polizei Praesidium
The Standehaus
The world's biggest Elephant Leg in a kebab shop
The Polizei have closed off Graf-Adolf Straße
There's a demonstration about a jailed dissident
The protest moves along Graf-Adolf Straße
Flags for Abdullah Öcalan
The protest continues
The polizei bring up the rear
There's a bit of a tram jam behind the protest
A rare old building: the Hotel Bismarck
Nosher looks for some Manga for Harry
The Manga-Mafia shop on Immermannstraße
Pointing graffiti on the way back to the airport
Graffiti under a road bridge
The train stops at Düsseldorf Flughaven station
There's a theme-park monorail to the airport
A view of traffic chaos outside the airport
Düsseldorf airport
There's a very stripey plane by the control tower
Life's exciting at gate 51
It's like Ryanair as we get dumped off a bus
A view of Düsseldorf
Landfall over the UK, somewhere in Essex
There are a few gaps in the clouds over London
Waterloo Station and the London Eye
Aa good view of the Microsoft Office in Paddington
Tesco gets a bit of advertising in on approach
We're dumped onto a bus again
The BA plane on the tarmac at Heathrow
On the way to the arrivals at Heathrow
Old graffiti on a wall somewhere
More graffiti near some HS2 site
On the Elizabeth Line
The driver of the Norwich train on platform 10
A silver Rune tag on a bridge
The train crosses the A12
An odd building with Abba on it
Back home, Harry and Isobel are in the Co-op
