Christmas Adventures: Duisburg

Today we moved on from Maastricht, but we had some time before we could check-in to our place in Dusseldorf so we decided to stop in Duisburg and see what their market was like.

This was a quick stop, not the best but not the worst. I wouldn't make a special trip to come back here, but if you need to kill some time and you are in the area then why not?

We had a few errands to run in the morning and then Raymond said about going to a museum. I saw the natural history museum and since I loved the one in Denver we decided to go there. You walk into this big room with lots of fossils and Dinosaurs! They didn't have a lot of things - this was the main room and is maim attraction of the museum. It was a tiny place, and they were doing renovations on a lot of the other exhibits. Apparently it is famous for having the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world! They also had these fun viewfinder things you could look through and if you point it at a dinosaur it would show this animation that filled them in and then showed them running around or eating or whatever. I thought it was fun. There was also a large room of rocks and m...
