Funfair on the Rhine

This week there is a fair set up along the Rhine, which is the largest public gathering along the Rhine and the biggest summer event for Düsseldorf. For the 9 days it is open it gets around 4 million visitors. Ben and I decided to check it out since it is, after all, within walking distance of our apartment. It was quite the sight! This fair was huge, packed full with rides and food. And these weren't just little rides...they had roller coasters, they had rides with moving statues and water features at the entrances, all sorts of interesting things. Ben and I didn't want to spend a lot of money though, and didn't feel much like riding the rides, so we basically just walked through the whole thing, ate some food and candy, and left. It was still very entertaining though!
