We decided to travel first class on the trains across Europe, not the least because it is not much more expensive than ordinary. To which Tone says "who are you calling ordinary?"
Yesterday on the train from Brussels to Cologne an attendant came along offering teas or coffees which many people took and started to drink.
When she got to the end of the carriage she came back with her wallet open asking us all for 2.90 euros! Not quite what we had expected, so a little muttering from our fellow travellers. All expected things to be as they are in first class at home with free hot drinks. Hey Ho, a lesson learned. Just as well we weren't on the train at lunch time!
The trip was pretty uneventful apart from this. Arrived in Cologne where we are staying for two nights.
As we walked out of the station and start to walk off towards the hotel where we were saying we both agreed that the highlight of our visit to Cologne must be the cathedral.
Not being sure where we were in relation to the cathedral we looked around us and there it was. Right by the train station and of course dwarfing all around. Fabulous scene to arrive to.
