The Cathedral is definitely the most well known sight in Koln. It is amazing. We decided to walk up to the bell tower. It is one of the tallest things we have climbed in Europe. At the end you are on these metal stairs that are outside right in the center of the highest gothic point. It was pretty high and Hanna didn’t like it at all. It does make you feel slightly unsafe and exposed! Thanks to a bunch of metal screens we didn’t get a good picture of the view! Brrr! It was as cold as it looks.
Looking up into the high gothic point:
As we waited for the rest of the group to come down from the climb, Cole and I found this perfect “chair” in the wall. This little guy loves me. He is my buddy. We hang out all day. He hugs and kisses me and gives me “squeezy hugs” all the time. He used to tell me about 10 times a day: Mom you’re pretty. I love you. And your cute. Not as much anymore, but he got major points for that! Now he likes to get “snibbles” (little kisses on his neck) and give them back to me. I LOVE THIS KID!
We walked along the river front to get to the Lindt Chocolate Museum which I’m sure is lovely in the Summer, but in the dead of Winter not so much. Yikes it was cold!
Well this place is kind of awesome……
The hot chocolate is a must! So rich and yummy especially with all the cream mixed right in! German cakes however always look better than they taste. They aren’t as sweet as Americans make them and they are kind of dry. We keep trying them though you’d think we would learn! Looks can be deceiving!
On the way back to the car. It was getting close to dark and unfortunately, COLDER. Can you see how gray German winter’s are? It looks like this for almost 3 months. We rarely see the sun during January and February. It gets old really fast. Good thing the wonderful Spring and Summers and Falls make up for it!
