The tourists

 

We took the train to Cologne. We don't know how to use the automated ticket machines but neither do the Germans. We all screwed up and just went. The stores were closed so I have shoe shopping withdrawal. Nice shoes here. Anyway, the train was fast and we had all day. Went for a day cruise down the river. Beautiful scenery and sunny. Then we took a small tram ride around the town, then went to a very crowded street fair. Ate a chocolate and banana crepe for lunch. Also visited the Museum of Chocolate where we bought some samples. We walked a lot so we deserved it!

For dinner we went to a local restaurant where we were the only tourists. We were given menus in German and had no clue what we were reading. So we struggled for about twenty minutes when the waiter came over and asked us if we wanted a menu in English, at which point we both became hysterical. But the food was delicious and we loved it. Now we are back in the room trying to get ready so we can meet our friends tomorrow to continue on to Werne.
