With a heavy heart, I started the day by departing Utrecht. The city was a great home for six weeks and I already miss the canals and twisting roads. And the daily room service. I was excited for my first ever foray into Germany. For the first night in my blitzkrieg of western Europe our destination was the city of Koln.
Relying solely upon our tour guide book for things to do in Koln, our first stop was the Shokolade Museum. Sponsored by Lindt chocolate, it was a source of knowledge and deliciousness. Located on prime real-estate on the Rhine River, it also was a spectacular piece of architecture.
We then ventured north up to the Dom. This was by far the largest Cathedral I had seen. Intimidating in size, it was well worth the two euros to scale the belfry to gain a view of the entire city.
Finally, we made our way down to the heumarket area to get some nice bratwurst.
I will leave you with a mobile bar that is powered by patrons’ pedaling while blasting techno music.
