Europe 2010 Around Neuss

Whilst Mum was in hospital and Yogurt was stuck in Bavaria with a horrible angina,  I still took some time to visit the illumination night at the castle of Dyck.

Waehrend Tilly noch im Spital lag und Juergen in Bayern mit einer saftigen Angina im Bett lag, habe ich die Zeit zwischen den Krankenhausbesuchen genutzt und habe ein paar Ausfluege unternommen, so z.B zu Schloss Dyck.
Als Juergen dann retour kam, war er erstmal zu einem Renntraining auf der Nordschleife am Nuerburgring unterwegs. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordschleife
Nach seiner Operation waren wir noch in Neuss auf dem historischen Markt, da die Parkplaetze knapp waren, fuhr er trotz Schmerzen doch lieber mit dem Toeff...

Spooky, isn't it?
