Dear All Greetings! This is my first of two blog entries relating a mini-trip I took to the Cologne area of Germany for three nights. After returning from an amazing two weeks in Florida, I felt it was a bit of a long time until my next trip to South Africa in the summer. So, to break up the 14 weeks between the two, I booked a short trip to Cologne for three nights during our summer half-term. I... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road!

This blog makes me want to book a flight to Germany. We were discussing yesterday that we'd like to go back to Germany as we have not seen enough of it. I want to stay in this place. It looks perfect! I think this mid summer break trip will catch on! You are so good with languages. Our friend Brendan is pretty good also. I admit as hard as I try I struggle a great deal. I'm tone deaf and I think that compounds my ability to hear the different tones. Keep exploring.

Thanks Merry! Nice to hear my blog on Germany could be inspiring a bit of a return trip there for yourselves. I'm finding Germany quite intriguing at the moment - so near, but many parts of it seem not so much on the international tourist radar as other European destinations. Well done on at least trying with languages, it's definitely one of the ways into a local culture - as is food! Thanks for reading, commenting and encouraging :)

The cathedral was cool and nice
When we were in Cologne last summer it was one of the warmest days of the year. We went into to the cathedral several times just because it was relatively cool in there. /Ake

Cool Cathedral
Ah, I can imagine that - I was there in early June and it was already quite warm.

Birds
Ah, lol. I must admit, my step-dad helps me out with all of that. I just write "bird", until he tells me which one it is and I update it!

What a beautiful place and indeed you stayed in a slice of paradise; I could hear the sounds of the birds whist looking at your photos and imagining how peaceful it must have been there. Well done for going to the sauna naked. I remember using a hotel sauna in Czech and everyone was naked and I just went in with my towel 🙈

Ah yes, I felt rather conspicuous with it too, us both being British and all...! It was a good learning experience. The little slice of the Garden of Eden was just perfect, and I highly recommend the place if you're ever in Cologne. Thanks for reading and commenting :)
