This is the 2nd travelogue about the Olympic dreams of Düsseldorf.
Düsseldorf is applying to be hosting the Olympic games in 2012. The German Olympic Committee will decide in April which city will be the official applicant for the games.
Until then a lot of companies and places in Düsseldorf, e.g. the tower of the airport and many huge buildings, are dressed in the "Olympic colours of Düsseldorf".
I started collecting these pictures, until the final decision on April 12th I'll try to take pictures of all places I see "wearing" the Olympic colours. |
| Flowers in front of the town hall |
|  | (you have to enlarge this picture to see all the flowers) |
| | The day the decision was made there was a party on Königsallee. A lot of people came to see the decision. |
Even though latest survey said that Düsseldorf wouldn't have a chance to become the German candidate everybody still believed we could make it. | | | Celebrating Düsseldorf- Rhein Ruhr |

| The end of a wonderful campaign |
| | But Leipzig made it. Düsseldorf came 3rd only. And we had to bury our Olympic dream... |

Hi Sabs, hope you had a great time at the big Euromeet. You must be all VT-ed out, huh? Just letting you know that I finished my Düsseldorf page. I should have paid better attention to your tour (haha), but I still think it came out okay. Best, Bill | mavl Thu May 29, 2008 18:45 UTC
ok, take care and have fun then (yes, i'm sure you'll have fun). if you have time (or if you get bored), drop me a note to let me know how it's going (and how i'm behaving as a VA). cheers! | slothtraveller Thu Apr 3, 2008 14:10 UTC
Great page, Sabsi. I am researching for a stay in Dusseldorf later this summer. Can you tell me why there is no accommodation available at the end of May there? Does something happen at this time? | kenHuocj Fri Mar 28, 2008 13:11 UTC
