Hi Mummy,

we visited Cologne today. My host had planned to meet a friend, fam-united, there. We went to Cologne by train.



We did not only met Katja's friend, we also met a ToyVoyager who will now stay with Jatja some time. It is Buzz BlueJay from the USA.



The very most important thing you have to see in Cologne is Cologne Cathedral. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and is a World Heritage Site. Cologne Cathedral was built between 1248 and 1880. The cathedral is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe, its towers are about 157 m tall.







Katja promised that later we would prpbably have a look at the inside of the cathedral. So we first went to see River Rhine, also in the picture you can see the Hohenzollern Bridge, a bridge for trains and pedestrians / cyclists.





There are also lots of excursion boats.



We followed the promenade and walked past the old town of Cologne. Those houses were built in 17th century.



Katja had a great idea: We would visit the German Chocolate Museum (Imhoff Schokoladenmuseum) situated in this partly old building.



First we walked around the building.







A view from the roof of the building ...



Inside the museum we saw all the machines which are necessary to make delicious chocolate.





There is a real chocolate fountain! We all got wafers dipped into melted chocolate. Yummy!







These are moulds for Easter Bunnies other figures, a squirrel for example.



This is an old billboards.



We went back to the city than.





In the old town you can find narrow lanes and lovely houses.



Than we went into the cathedral.





Look at the fantastic mosaic on the floor.



Unfortunately it was time for getting home than.

Bye
Bamboo
