Cologne
15 maj 2022, Tyskland ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Left Koblenz early morning and cruised up to Cologne arriving just after 12, the position is very central near the cathedral and the rail bridge, famous for all the padlocks attached to the railings along its, full length. A quick visit to the cathedral but as a service was in process only the entrance area was accessible for visitors. In the afternoon we found the Wallraf-Richartz Museum Gallery. The main exhibition was early church art from the churches in and around Cologne. The painters working in Cologne at that time are known, but none of the frames are signed so they are unable to attribute the paintings specifically. These had been cleaned as when compared to those in the cathedral which were dark and dull the condition of these were excellent and the colours particularly bright and vibrant depicting the bible stories. There was also a good collection of impressionists, with Renoir’s, Cezanne’s, a Van Gogh and a Munch. The plus was entry was free because it was Sunday.Läs mer

Dag 21
Cologne
11 september 2022, Tyskland ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
Cologne was just a quick stop on our way to Switzerland. We had just enough time to check in, walk around town and grab dinner and a couple drinks. It looks like a great town even though it was raining. They desperately need the rain. The Rhine River is at record lows.

Kolsch beer is the rage here, and they serve it in small narrow glasses. Too bad we're not staying longer because drinks are about half price compared to Denmark! For dinner, it was Sauerbraten for me and Salmon in
a beurre Blanc sauce for Deanne, along with some German wines.

Cologne's most famous landmark is it's gothic cathedral. We just made it inside before closing time. It's extremely tall and quite impressive. But after seeing a few of these, they tend to all look alike. I know.... sacriliege! After seeing that, we stumbled on a cafe called "Funk Haus" and of course Dr. Funkhouser and I HAD to stop in for a drink. Nobody in Iowa is quite sure, but they think it means Radio Station. We are asking several people what the surname means and have heard Radio Station and Fire Station. This cafe is named after the TV station that was in the building before. Maybe we'll find out in the Emmental valley of Switzerland where Deanne's family came from.

We trained our way from Amsterdam to our first stop in Germany, Köln. There are many amazing things to see in Germany, but maybe the most beautiful of all is Cologne Catherdral. The rain did not deter us, and we managed to walk through the cathedral as well as along the Hohenzollern Bridge, which crosses over the Rhine River. After a long day of walking, we bought takeaway pizzas and celebrated Valentines Day at home together ❤️Läs mer

So next place Koeln. Beautiful cathedral and modern architecture which would fit into the south bank. I liked both, a modern working city and the old town. Big contrast to Dresden. A definite west east split.Läs mer

From Barcelona to Cologne/Bonn
7 november 2023, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
On 20231107 with Ryanair flight FR2507 from Barcelona (BCN) back to Cologne/Bonn (CGN). Departure: 11:50. Arrival: 14:10. Total price for two people (hand luggage only, 8kg) 77,98€. Booked on 20230525 via Ryanair.com.

Day 7 [Tuesday]: By taxi (31,50€) to the airport. Pass through baggage and ticket control. Arrived very early, so a long wait. Trying to get some sleep at Burger King. Anneke went to order coffee, no receipt came, but the amount had been debited. We went to pick up the order and had to laugh again because it came in a very small cup. Gate U36. After landing in Cologne/Bonn we took the train RE6 to Duisburg Central Station. Via Oberhausen with RE19 track 9 via Bochelt, Wesel to Arnhem. Due to disruption/construction work, we had to get off at Emmerich and then transfer to the train to Arnhem. Fortunately, Paul picked us up by car in Emmerich around 8 PM. Traveling by train in Germany took us a very long time.Läs mer

Colonia
28 september 2022, Tyskland ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
El día comenzó tranquilo en Frankfurt, decidiendo que hacer fuimos al aeropuerto, porque todos los blablabla car que pedimos salían de allí. Después un chico muy amable nos llevó a Colonia, un viaje de más de dos horas que con autoestop no sé cuánto habría durado, ya que la gente de Frankfurt parecía menos animada de lo normal. Llegando a Frankfurt fuimos a un Lidl donde compramos provisiones y luego fuimos a un parque donde tuvimos un picnic, comiendo bocadillos de queso y una mezcla de cerdo y vaca. Como ya era tarde decidimos ir a visitar rápido el centro, no tuvimos mucho tiempo y vimos poco, la iglesia y alguna escultura. La ciudad es bastante comercial, con tiendas por todas partes y de todo tipo. Decidimos tomar el Tram para llegar a nuestro anfitrión de CS. Es un tipo amable, pero nos tocó volver a subir muchas escaleras. Acabando el día conocimos a otros viajeros de la aplicación que venían de Berlín.Läs mer

I ended my period Barcelona in the morning with breakfasting with my new friends and family and being brought to the airport. After arriving in colonia after seven month, I went directly to my first shift at the Christmas market. Funny one of my roommates from Barcelona, Anni, was working there too and another one, Tim, was visiting us :) I worked at the christmas market, selling Glühwein almost every day for five weeks, to earn some money for the next period of my life: Greece. But also it was a nice opportunity to see again my old friends and my boys - and the new girl :) - of my old shared flat :)
It was a very very nice and exhausting time in colonia where I saw my old life connected with the new version of meLäs mer

Cologne (DE)
14 juli 2017, Tyskland ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Not all green pastures, and tranquil meadows. This northern section of the Rhine is also known as the Industrial Ruins. Slow going and without a GPS it would be even worse.

Rode through Duisburg (couldn't help myself and stopped at a Starbucks for a cappuccino) also Europe's largest inland port, then to Dusseldorf (the Tour de France started here 2 weeks ago), then to Cologne (one of the oldest cities in Germany.

The biggest landmark in Cologne is the gothic style Cologne Cathedral completed in 1880 and took 632 years to build !Läs mer
