"the Hauptbahnof is so sexy!..." Cologne Transportation Tip by miromi

the Hauptbahnof is so sexy! all those sensual 19th century curves that remain so modern and attractive. going along with all my bad luck, i predictably missed a train here, or thought i did, only to run to the counter, purchase another ticket (it was an ICE) run back, then find out my train was merely late (which is suspected before, but didn't believe because I thought all german trains were punctual), and had the most wonderful feeling pulling out of the city, joy that i was leaving and not coming back anytime soon
The trains could also be called trams/streetcars (i'm not sure what the proper difference is between all the categories) and are so cute and narrow, like big metallic slippery eels slipping through the Altstadt and surfing the bridge over the Rhine. this is the only German city I ever got lost in, but it was probably due to my foul, dark mood, and the rain. O Koeln! why didst thou forsake me???
