title	A Walk To The Rheinturm, Düsseldorf, Germany - 29th July 2023
intro	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.
