Long weekend in Köln

On Thursday morning we set off on our journey to Cologne! It was a super warm day, about 25 degrees when we arrived in the city centre. We enjoyed an early dinner with Oma Astrid and spent some time catching up and enjoying seeing each other (the last time we visited was August last year) Josh and I then took a long walk along the Rhine and witnessed the sky lighting up with lightening and thunder, dark clouds were looming ahead and we ended up getting caught in the rain but we had our jackets of course 😁😁

On Friday we spent time with Richard and Elke, some of Oma Astrid’s good friends. We really enjoyed seeing the exhibition space at the Gasometer. In the evening we had dinner and played a semi-competitive round of Phase 10 (which I lost) 🥲

During the weekend, we spent time exploring the city, visiting the Ludwig museum (which has a very impressive Picasso collection, among other great artists) and eating delicious food 🤩

Our time in Germany was short but we really enjoyed being with Oma Astrid and having a nice break away from our busy Amsterdam lives. We will be back very soon 🧡Read more
