The weather seemed to be against us much of the time, but we took advantage of one nice day to drive about 20 minutes south to Venlo, the closest big city. And we loved it!
We parked at the central underground parking garage, right in the middle of the city center. First stop was an outdoor market area with all kinds of things, including eggs and cheese.
For non-German speakers, this sign says Uncle Jacob has the biggest eggs in Venlo, (Uncle Jacob being the owner of the booth). "Eier" (eggs) is slang for testicles.
We took a nice long walk down the street -- purely pedestrian zone, how lovely -- and saw all kinds of things.
And given my professional background, this statement on the pavement of the pedestrian zone nautrally caught my attention. "Stores open, cyclists walk".
