I just learned the train station here is one of the busiest in Germany and I believe it. It seemed more crowded and faster paced than any of the other (5?) stations I've been through.
There was also a lively crowd outside, such as food vendors, flower carts, and more than a few teen-aged citizens in black punk uniforms.
After a tasty dinner last night I was able to get online, joining Craig Cmehil and a few others for a time-lapsed Friday morning report (got the heads up on twitter). Even learned that Gregor had passed through Dormund Friday, as had Craig.
I walked the 'ring' streets going anti-clockwise from Konigswall to Hoher Wall to Hiltropwall to Sudwall to Ostwall, then Schwanenwall and finally on Burgwall to the hotel. Today I plan to explore the ring center with museums and churches and end up outside it in Kreuzviertel.
American hotels take note - this is just part of a Continental breakfast!
(update - lunch and dinner photos)
A turkey kabob omelet:
Salad with fried potatoes and fried eggs, with house red.
Hi Jim,
ReplyDeletenow you can understand how we starved during our US trip. Enjoy your time in Dortmund and have a save trip home.
Cheers
Gregor
Have a great time! Consider having a Döner Tasche while you are here - not German but you really can't be here and not have one :-) holler if you need anything!
ReplyDeleteDanke, friends! Great hospitality here; I've uploaded photos of lunch and supper before hitting the road (and train/plane food :-().
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteNice to know there's a fellow English-speaking blogger in Dortmund at the moment. You mind sharing exactly where this breakfast is from? I'm still on chocolate covered waffles and I've been thinking about making a switch.
Ah yes, and if you're into very relaxed cafe/bars with good food, check out a place called 'chillers' downtown.
Happy traveling!
dusty compass - the breakfast was at the Königshof hotel; lunch was at the Sultan Cafe, and dinner was at Schürmann´s Cafebar (I think). But I'm back in the USA now.
