I undertook this travel adventure at the end of 2022. Flying from London to Düsseldorf on the 23rd October and flying back to London on the 10th November.

The table below details each stage of the journey. By selecting each of the links within the table you can access:

• individual webpages detailing each day’s activity;

• Individual websites for each of the hotels at which I stayed; and

• trip advisor reviews for each of these hotels.

As always, when reading Trip Advisor reviews be aware that some reviewers may have ulterior motives for posting their comments (good or bad). Please also note when looking at reviews of hostels that I usually stay in a private room, with or without a private bathroom.
