    Walking Tour of Cologne

    July 9, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F

    This was a fun tour. Our guide was very sarcastic, which went over well with the girls. Éowyn spent a lot of time collecting sticks.

    91% of Cologne was bombed by the Allies in WWII due to its proximity to the Rhine.

    Make sure to watch the video with the NASA monument.

    We learned that the tram line that runs under the cathedral has to slow down at that section, because at faster speeds it was creating vibrations that caused the towers to sway up to 6 meters.
