Day 12, Düsseldorf

I'm sorry to say, but personally for me, there's not much I can write about today. For me, it was more of a relaxation day. I got to sleep in, read, and just relax in general. My whole day was completely free until around 7 o'clock.

This is where the fun begins. My family took me on a guided tour of a shut down steelworks. Now, the sun sets at 5, so wouldn't it be dark? Well, yeah. But lights on the machinery illuminate it all. Unfortunately, the tour guide was French, meaning she spoke her German with almost no pauses. Oliver, my host father, had a little trouble keeping up to translate it all to English, but I understood most of it. The sights were absolutely amazing, the facts were interesting, and the best part of the night was when we got to climb up the machinery via stairs and view the surrounding cities at night. Not only was Düsseldorf in close view, but also Essen!

The steelworks was absolutely amazing, but it was really all I did on the relaxing weekend day. I was just happy that it wasn't another 6 o clock wake up like school days!
