Since the last post we have spent 2 pleasant days in Frankfurt Am Main. Frankfurt has two sides to it - the city side with skyscrapers and crazy motorists and the older town side. We spent our time mainly just exploring: walking by the river, tasting Frankfurt´s drink of choice, apple wine, in the taverns, and of course visiting the ever present Christmas markets!
We are now in Cologne, which is proving to be a very cool place - there are little cafes and cute pubs everywhere. Our hostel gets top marks for location, being right around the corner from a pub and pretty much on the banks of the Rhine. We arrived yesterday morning and booked ourselves on a Christmas-themed cruise on the Rhine. We managed to nab a window table, and were served beer and Black Forest cake while enjoying cruising Germany´s famous river. Some good photos were taken, as the skies were clear.
This morning we visited Cologne´s famous cathedral (the largest in Germany.) It is so huge, and really amazing inside, with lots of colourful stained glass windows. This afternoon we will visit the Christmas markets and then check out some pubs, as it was raining overnight and is sprinkling on and off today. Tomorrow we are going to visit the Chocolate Museum, and cross the bridge to explore the other side of the river.
Not too much longer until we get to Berlin, which we are very much looking forward to.
Hope all is well back in Aussie!
