We somehow ended up in Cologne!? Well sort of deliberately. We heard most of Belgium was sort of lame, so we decided to trek to Cologne and see some Germany (so that Kim and Carol could go there). The train was excellent, a new ICE train, but of course, with the fact we were so new to train travel, we ended up sitting in someone's reserved seats. Oh well. Too bad the guy was a bastard, putting his bare feet up on the seat beside you, etc. Disgusting. Good thing it was short though.
Any issues we had there were quickly consumed by the fact that our hostel is great! Our room looks straight out of an IKEA catalogue, even down to the power bars and curtain rods. It's hilarious. Super clean, super cheap, and so close to the station and all attractions.
Over these past two days, we've checked out the Dom (amazing, absolutely amazing), Altstadt (Old City), shopping, Kölsch beer (local to the area), bockwurst and of course the Rhine, including the chocolate museum alongside it. We got some tips from Julia on what to eat and where to go, and turns out our hostel was close to all suggestions.
Tomorrow we are off to Brugges and Brussels for some Belgian fun. Waffles, mussels and beer, OH MY!
P.S. thanks again Julia for the good tips on food...it was awesome.
Lots of love!
