We grabbed some bread and headed to Cologne. Sarah was not particularly impressed by Cologne. We did not go into the Cathedral as I thought they were charging entry. Outside the Cathedral, there was a Chinese festival, apparently it was 50 years since Cologne was twinned with Beijing. We walked up to the Lindt Chocolate Museum via the Altstadt. The plazas reminded her of her continental European conferences.
We walked around the chocolate shop in the museum and drooled over the chocolate before coming to town for some lunch at Früh am Dom. We made some bad choices... We should have taken the opportunity for the full experience. We wizzed around the Chinese festival and the new towns then headed to see May-tal.
We had some coffee at the flat and went for some drinks. It was good to catch up with someone from the past. May-tal was doing well with the new baby.
Since we got the NRW day ticket, was went to Aachen. When we got there, the cathedral was closed for visitors! They had an event on. We walked around the town, and there was another summer wine festival. Knowing we would not get back into Düsseldorf for dinner, we had curry wurst and flammkuchen at the festival.
Exhausting, with more German food ticked off the list.
