Eau de Cologne

I have been several times in Cologne, each time for just a partial visit. Sooner or later, I will hopefully manage to have the full picture.

First time, as a party destination, reached by local train from Bonn - not exactly renown for nightlife, I am told. Another time, a stroll in the shopping area and a couple of drinks in the Heumarkt. Then there was the time of that workshop outside the centre.

This time, on a Easter eve which was colder than a Christmas eve, the day was good for climbing up the bell tower of the Cathedral, drinking a few Koelsch from those tiny long glasses and freezing to the bones while walking along the Rhine.

Very clean, very neat, difficult to imagine the Carnival craze. Maybe next time.
