Friday, 22nd July: Greeted with a mild head cold this morning, which fortunately was not yet incapacitating and permitted an excursion to Tonisvorst, north of Krefeld, where there was a factory outlet for a gentleman`s outfitters called Otten.
As a tall, long legged person, it is difficult to find trousers to fit at the usual outlets in the UK and I have always had more success in Gemany. It was such a change to be able to go into a shop and find that there was actually quality clothing off the peg in my size. Within an hour I left with several pairs of trousers at discount prices, as we had arrived during a mid season sale.
On the journey back to Meerbusch, we stopped off in Krefeld to visit the bank and also partake of the excellent Italian ice-cream from one of the ice-cream parlours. Today I checked out kiwi and pistachio balls in a cone.
In the afternoon, we had intended to visit the most recent exhibition at the Gasometer in Essen with Ms Mix. We deferred until the following day to give us more time and instead had a very enjoyable evening playing the board game “Siedler von Catan”.
