Taking our friends to Cologne

Of course our friends wanted to see Cologne. So we all took a regional train from Aachen to the main station in Cologne which is right next to the cathedral:


After the one hour train ride we also stopped for a lunch at a restaurant by the Rhine river and the adults and teenager sampled the Kölsch beer


After a quick trip to a Lego store om a shopping street we were back at the cathedral to see it from inside. Since a service was about to start we ended up siiting inside for a special two hours mass with the archbishop , cardinals and dozens or priests and a choir.and many nuns


After this we had lunch at a brew pub where Bill Clinto was guest in 1999 during a summit in Cologne




Once we finished and gout out we walked by the river to enjoy the skyline




The love locks at the Hohenzollern bridge
