Hello, everybody! Just came back from
Nordrhein-Westfallen this morning. I was so beat that I could only upload the photos to my facebook page and then went down for the count. It was one hell of a trip. First, we went by train to
Köln, where we would be staying for the whole trip.
Iva and I -- the only girls in the group -- planned everything...well, most everything, beforehand. Here's how it went:
Day One: Exploring Köln/Cologne and Its Dome (a.k.a. The 50-cent-costed Torture)
 |
| Here are the group (minus myself) in front of the Stadtmauern (City Walls) |
Okay, so first of all, we went to the hotel and put our bags there. We got hungry and grabbed some lunch. We found the walls above and took a picture there while we were at it. We went straight to the
Dome Church and checked it out. We went to the treasure room and since we thought it'd be a waste not to climb the tower too for only 50 cent more, we went ahead. But...
OH MY GOD DID WE REGRET IT HALFWAY THROUGH! The man wasn't kidding when he said it was 500ish steps...
