Cologne

Friday 13th Feb
Hi everyone.
We are well
Craig spent the day at the Ford factory and had a very interesting and worthwhile day. I did the domestics, washing and booking accommodation etc for the next day or so. And organsied our travel to Scotland. We had left it too late to catch the train. The fellow we are meeting in the UK said we'd do it when we met up, but it is too late now, so we are catching a plane. That will mean an extra day in Edinburgh so that will be good.
I am so looking forward to visiting my friend Janine. One, it will be really good to catch up with someone we know and second it will be great to do some REAL washing!!
I took Craig to a Turkish restaurant tonight, it was beautiful. It was in the local recommendation guide and had won some Cologne food awards.
Silver service and quite expensive but very nice and gluten free!!
Last night was Italian.
It is really funny trying to converse with someone who's first language isn't German or English. I hate going to restaurants in Australia so it is a real challenge here in Germany! But so far we have had really good luck and picked some really good ones.
Also, it was really good luck that the hotel we are staying at is 20m from the train station that goes directly to the FORD factory. How lucky can you be?!?!
We are staying in Cologne an extra night. There is something on in Frankfurt and hotels are very expensive 220 euros (about $440) oper night and the hotel we are in here is beautiful. We will catch the train on Sunday morning directly to Frankfurt airport. About 50mins on the ICE train.
Sightseeing on the agenda for tomorrow.
Hi to everyoneXXOXOXOXOXO
