That's right...I went bowling in Duisburg, Germany. Since this is a FTR it sounds like not a lot of…read morepeople do this.
I went here with my Akademie class and XXL is quite a complex. It has tennis, bowling, a cafe, a biergarten, and an upstairs level with sauna, massage and hair/cosmetic services. Their motto is "not just sports" and they mean it. You could spend all day or evening here.
Bowling was fun, with the requisite black lights, disco Lady Gaga music and liquor frames. Drinks are pretty reasonable at about €2.75 for .5L of Kolsch. There's even a bar for the smokers.
So, you'll want to know how I bowled, right? After all, I am from Milwaukee the home of the American Bowling Congress.....
I bowled a 32....that's right....a 32. I was by far the worst bowler in our group of 20. Still, I had a good time. If you're planning on a visit, know that it's about 15-20 minutes south of the center so you'll have to drive or call a cab.
