Another
cruise along the Autobahn. We’re heading
for the fourth most populous city in Germany. It ranks behind Berlin, Hamburg
and Munich.
As we near the city and cross the Rhine, Koln’s cathedral with its Gothic dome rises high above the
cityscape.
After we park and check in to the Hotel Engelbertz, we head for the
church. We investigate the interior….gorgeous….but are too late to climb the
spire, which would have been incredible. Blew it, but slightly relieved as the
heat wave continues. Instead we stroll the pedestrian only old town streets. They
are full of people and interesting shops.
A street artist has drawn the flags of 60 or so countries on the pavement. People put coins on their country of choice. Jim gives the USA a donation.
We find a tiny outdoor Italian restaurant across the street from our hotel. The food is good and we retire to realize our room is not air conditioned making it hard to sleep. I take 2 tepid showers at intervals. It’s still sweltering. Impossible to sleep.
