Chicago 13.04-16.04.2017

On 13.04. we arrived in our last North/East city. As we suddenly stood in a traffic jam on a 6-lane highway towards the city entrance, we could only imagine how big this great city would be. After about 2,480 kilometers traveled, we returned our great and loyal Jeep Patriot in Chicago Old Town.

Unaccustomed, we made our way to Chicago Loop (Downtown) by metro, where our hotel CQ Loop Hotel was located. We spent the evening comfortably in the hotel.

The next day we visited the great city and walked several kilometers through the streets of Chicago. The weather cooperated to some extent :-)

In our sightseeing walk, the Millennium Park, the Cloud Gate, the Navy Pier, as well as the shopping street Magnificent Mile and much more were included.

If there's one thing you can do in Chicago, it's eat delicious and healthy food. Food halls with many great food stands as far as the eye can see. :-)

Well, there were also less healthy things, of course. For example, the candy shop, which was a huge paradise for Nadine!!!

When we wanted to make our way back to the hotel in the evening, it actually started raining. :-O

On Saturday, with sunshine and 27 degrees, we made our way to Willis Tower, where the Skydeck was located. To get to the 103rd floor, we had to endure a 2-hour wait. The breathtaking view at an altitude of 412m rewarded our patience.

In the evening, we enjoyed our last hours in Millennium Park.
