Debbi & Phil EuroTrip 2006
Hello from Cologne, yes we made it, despite oversleeping on the train and thinking we'd missed Cologne. Luckily the train was late (so much for German efficiency) so we were still over an hour away. We arrived at 8:20 and set out to do some sightseeing. Unfortunately, impressive as it is, the Cathedral is right outside the train station and appears to be the only sight to see in Cologne, so that didn't take long. So we slept/sunbathed in a park on the banks of the river untill it was time to set off for the Hotel. This was aaaaaaaaages away and debbi complained alot. Was nice when we got there after a week if slumming it to have an en-suite shower though! After the biggest and loudest thunderstorm ever we headed off to our open air concert. Luckily the weather had cleared and Jimmy Boy was really good. The less said about the support act the better though. Then we headed into town for the buzzing nightlife our "Insomnia" guide to Cologne had promised us. Again it appeared we had been mislead as its top recommendation was actually empty. So we sat in a square being sophisticated until we realised we were the only ones left at 1 oclock and they were clearing up around us. Not big party animals in Cologne apparently.
Today we had our free breakfast (on a budget you know) and made the most of our room till our 12 o'clock checkout. Then went back and looked at the cathedral some more, and sat in the park some more. Overnight train to Basel (Switzerland) tonight, then heading for Interlaken for Thursday night.
Will be in touch from there.
Debbi and Philx
