Oh De Cologne

by steventilly - last update: Sep 15, 2002

A Day Out With Friends

Cologne Cathedral
On my recent trip to Germany we visited Cologne with my VT friends Sabsi & Bigs - this page is as much a recollection of a great day out with them as it is a page of "what to see and do in Cologne".

Memories Of A Scarred Childhood

It was a 2nd visit to Cologne for me, I first went there with a school trip way back in about 1975. All I can remember from that time is the immense size of the Cathedral and the fact that we got ripped off in a toy shop there when we bought toy tanks - that scar will never heal!

Fun Events

The day we hit Cologne with Sabs & Bigs we were really lucky - not only was there a beerfest in town, but also it was free admission to the chocolate museum. What more could a guy want - beer, chocolate and 3 lovely girls. Now where was that damn toy shop...

 Just doing some "research" Will be interesting to compare Cologne with Durham. I preferred Durham - much less scaffolding :-S

 It's a bit of a bigger city. Other than that, no difference.
