Cologne

We arrived in Cologne late in the afternoon and headed to the Market Square to sample the local ale followed by dinner at the Sion Brauhuis (brewery). The local police came out in force - they were everywhere - to deal with the visiting English hooligans. We think they were fighting each other which isn't as big a problem.


We visited the Dom (Cathedral) for mass on the Sunday with the local Cardinal/Archbishop Woelki and then again on the Monday for a walk around. A beautiful building which has the remains of the Three Wise Men. 



We also enjoyed a cruise on the Rhine and a visit to the Chocolate Museum/Factory and dinner at another brewery. 




Streudel!!!

    The Dom cathedral was a magnificent building. Puts our little churches to shame. To think they didn't have computers and modern equipment when they built those places! If someone steals your bike in Amsterdam, the police tell you to just go and pinch someone else's as there are too many stolen for the police in investigate.
    Andrew, your new job must be keeping you VERY busy or is your time consumed with arranging all those photos on that big fridge? Cheers FOA
