Liebe Familie, Montag November 3rd 2008
Mommy and I arrived in Munich, with our train having been 20 minutes late. We hopped off the train and sprinted off to the next one, hoping not to miss our connecting train. We got on the ICE, and struggled to gain just a few more hours of sleep. Around 12 we pulled into Cologne exhausted, but on time and ready to discover the city! We came straight out of the train station, where the Köln Dom happens to be right there. We walked around for a miraculously short time before finding the hotel. Our hotel is perfectly situated in the middle of town, only two streets away from the train station AND the Dom, so it is amazing here. We brushed our teeth, washed our faces, recovered from our train ride, etc. We then went out walking. We stopped by in some Christmas shops here and there, and such. We visited the Dom, saw loads of old Roman ruins, including a tower from the Roman city wall, saw the original Köln City Wall, the Rhein, LOADS of churches, etc. It's really pretty, but the day was pretty overcast most of the time, so none of our pictures have turned out that well.
After getting lost a few times, losing my backpack, finding my backpack, we called it a day. We bought some sandwiches, two Berliners (I know! I never once had a Berliner when I was in Berlin!) and this strange bread man with a lollipop stuck in his chest. We enjoyed our dinner, our showers, and lounged about for a while before going to bed. Tomorrow will be pretty full, so good night!
Love,
Anna
