Koln - Germany

From Prague we went to Koln, after a bit of trouble getting on the wrong trains we did finally end up in the right place.

We stayed with some friends of Josche's and they were awesome, we had home cooked dinners and a nice warm comfortable bed. Not only were they top hosts they were top tour guides :-)

We visited Koln's most treasured tourist point - the cathedral - and climbed all 509 stairs to get to the top! By the time we reached the top the warm winter jackets were off.

We had bratwurst and currywurst for lunch and I ordered it in German and got rewarded with a bag of lollies for my german speaking skills.

That night we went to a german beer hall/resturant were we were only aloud to drink Koln beer (Kolsch)we have never seen a town so proud of their beer. As soon as we sat down the beer was put in front of us you didn't get a choice and they just kept on appearing in front of us until you put a coaster on the top of your glass.
Josche ordered some horse for dinner which is a traditional german dish, which was chewy and a bit dry but was enjoyable enough.

Koln was a lot of fun and great to see it with Michael and Kathrin thanks guys!!
