MESSING ABOUT ON THE RIVER Working as a freelancer means that you are free to work pretty much when you want and where you want. It also means that you can take time off when you can fit it in. So - tell people that are you going away for a long weekend and what happens? They all say "Wait, I was going to ask you do this, do that, etc. It won't take long (and no I won't pay a weekend surcharge)." Tough, pal! So you go for it and whoosh off (in our case to visit friends in Germany's Northrhine Westphalia region). There is always the thought at the back of your head that you are not only not earning money on those days, but also spending it: but what the hell! Having arrived in Dusseldorf, we met with some good friends on day one (including a staggeringly-attractive blonde lady who has been known to contribute to this portal). On the second day, our (non-blonde) male friend suggested he take the afternoon off and join us for a boat trip, together with his charming lady. A magnanimous sacrifice by a freelancer, and as it was comfortably over 30 degrees, we decided to amble down to the Altstadt which is from where Weiße Flotte runs tours to various places. For the price of € 18 per head, you can take a one-hour trip along the Rhine to the town of Kaiserswerth. This has been a suburb of Dusseldorf since 1929 and was founded in the year 900 as a Benedictine monastery. It is the site of various places, including the ruins of the 'Kaiserpfalz' fortress erected by first Holy Roman Emperor Friederich Barbarossa in the twelfth century, as well as the "Diakoniewerk" with its Florence Nightingale hospital (the 'Lady of the Lamp' was a star pupil there). With beer gardens and other attractions on summer days, it is a popular excursion destination for the good burghers of Dusseldorf and I can't blame them. The trip takes about an hour each way and you can return when you want, depending upon the sailing times. Another bonus is the fact that the fare includes free beer. When you work out how much beer you would drink over 2 hours on a river boat during 2 hours, I think that is a pretty good deal. Prost! The ladies also enjoy unwinding and are grateful for the selfless trouble that you go to in order to ensure their wellbeing. I can certainly recommend this line and the route - and not just for the beer! Weiße Flotte is also available for charters and does themed evening voyages. Since they terminate in the Altstadt, you are well-located to continue celebrating what ever it was that you were celebrating. (ChiantiClassico123, 25-05-2012) 4

It was ok. Food not exceptional. Service fast at the beginning but slow at the end. (angelovassallo, 17-05-2012) 3

Bright and fluorescent lights, Not my kind of place at all. I think it even becomes a club later.Had a beer Gatzweiler Alt, which I hadn't encountered before. Turned out to be a below average pilsner. (Happy Moose Drinker, 09-05-2012) 2

Appearance more like a French cafe, with all the tables assembled outside (heated in winter). The kind of place where paying is much harder than getting served!The only interesting beverage option was a Diebels Alt, which was OK.Generic winge about toilet attendants. Star off for that!

Alles super außer das Steak, was ich finde, für den Preis besser sein können. (SoyuzBot, 15-04-2012) 4

Their selection online is almost identical to what they have in the store. Prices are higher. If you ask them to meet their own online prices, the response is, ridiculously, 'No. Online we don't have to pay rent. Here we do." Huh? Whatever. Staff is not friendly, selection is limited and very expensive compared to amazon, mytoys, jacko-o and, even their own website. (Demi, 11-04-2012) 2

Very Very Gemutlich place to sink a Krombacher Pils. A song was playing called Summer Wine, which was real fun sounding oldie. !http://assets1.qypecdn.net/uploads/photos/0363/1345/spinnstube2_gallery2.jpg! Chap behind the bar did seem a bit odd mind. (Happy Moose Drinker, 09-04-2012) 4
