Ailie im Wunderland- 24. Kapitel

After the rainly days here comes the sunny but cold days. At night the temperature drops under zero again... but it will be a bit wasteful, if I don't take some trips out. So last weekend I travelled to Koeln (Cologne) with girlfriends.

Actually I travelled to Koeln last year after my CeBIT reporting trip in Hannover, but indeed I stayed there just a Saturday afternoon and an overnight. This time I can see more about the city, and get to the top of the Cathedral, which I was too afraid to try last time. And all I can say is, it is a very very very cooooooool and beautiful city! Everyone must take a look there!

The night train I travelled with... with beds and breakfast! The typical view of Cologne! But well, I am not sure if the Koelner Dom is more beautiful than the Regensburger Dom, and also if the river Rhein is more attractive than the river Donau...
I at the top of Koelner Dom! The view of Rhein from the Top of the Dom
The main shop of 4711, the Eau de Cologne (Water of Cologne)! The Imhoff-Stollwreck Chocolate Museum, with the signature Sarotti Chocolate statue
The State Museum of Koeln... Topped by The golden flying Car, which indicates the prosperity of modern Cologne brought by the car industry in 1920s, as the Pre-war Mayor Konrad Adenauer (also the first Post-war Bundeskanzler of Germany) introduced Ford building its motor plant there.
