So we had arrived in Cologne early this afternoon, after a good four and a half hour train ride from Munich. We thought we were ready to take the city by storm and do as much as we could (since we only had an afternoon), but we ran out of energy. After a short nap, we ventured out into the city. The big attraction here is the cathedral, and I mean CATHEDRAL. This thing is huge, and is the reason why we decided to stop here on the way back. It was very impressive. We made our way inside and paid a small fee to walk up the steps to one of the spires. The truth is that they really should have paid us, or at least advertise it as some kind of work out marathon. The spiral steps put any stepmaster to shame (509 steps), but we made quick work of it, also working up a sweat.
The views from the top were pretty amazing. I will post a couple pictures.
After the trek to the top, we wandered the city for a while. We eventually decided on a place to eat. I was happy as it was an `all you can eat` asian buffet. Which brings us to now. Nancy and I just stopped off at an internet cafe, before heading back to our hotel.
Tomorrow we are taking a morning train from Cologne to Utrecht then another train right into Schipol Airport (Amsterdam) and catch our flight back home. We have really enjoyed our trip and can´t believe all of the great experiences we have had during the past few weeks. However, there is some relief realizing we are getting closer to being back at home.
See ya´ll soon!
JR and Nancy
