Cologne, Germany

On Tuesday, we took a short road trip (three hours each way) to Cologne (Koln). It is one of the oldest cities in Germany, and was founded in 38 BC. We went to the Koln Cathedral which was originally built in 1248. During world war II it survived 14 aerial bombs and is still standing despite 95% of the city being destroyed during the war.



We also went to the chocolate museum, and walked along the River Rhine which runs through the middle of Cologne.

Am wondering if the people that work at the chocolate factory ever get tired of smelling chocolate.
