last stop: wuppertal
17/03/2012 § 6 Comments
The last place we stopped on our roadtrip before heading back to NL was Wuppertal because Leah and I were adamant about seeing the Schwebebahn. I kid you not I had dreamt about this place before.. so I just had to go! The Schwebebahn is a floating tram system that’s been in use in Wuppertal since the beginning of the 1900s.. pretty amazing. It looks a little bit like some futuristic dystopian structure but it’s really great.. riding on it was almost like an amusement park ride. Overall I think we were all pretty glad we took the time to stop in Wuppertal and explore the city a bit.
I’ll be super busy for the next week working towards a big presentation on the 27th and then I’m leaving right after for 4 days for a little post-presentation/pre-birthday vacation.. so it might be a while until I post again but I’ll try to at least share a few photos from Scandinavia before long.
There’s some really awesome shots here, I love the floating tram shots.
Thanks!
All I have to say is “I wanna go”
Wunderbar!
It’s definitely a unique place
Danke!
Check out the documentary “Piña” Wim Wenders tribute to the choreographer in 3D. Great scenes on the tram!
I will have to add Wuppertal to my transit travel list. I love transit rides from around the world. It’s too bad Canada is a bit of a transit backwater compared to Asia and Europe.
Thanks for sharing. Love all your photos. I can see why you love film.
