We decided we'd do a big walk around the city and across the Rhine river. I took lots of photos and we had to get Craig a new back pack because the other on just gave up and fell to bits. He's all class now.
We walked past this church nearly every day and it looked good in the sunshine. Don't be deceived by the clear sky. It is still freezing!!
Well this is our last night in Germany. The local Cologne FC is playing at home tonight, but again sold out. Probably lucky in a way, the cheapest seats were 186 euro ($372 each) so now we'll be able to live it up somewhere else.
Cologne is the carnival city and they are just starting the Carnival of the Stars. I don't exactly know what it signifies but it is a big thing here and people are in fancy dress all over the place. In the shops, on the street, in the bars and restaurants they are just everywhere. There are shops and shops dedicated to fancyy dress, and a whole floor in the department store. Dress up heaven.
Craig will be visiting paint shops in the UK for a couple of days, but I'll see how he goes and what I can get up to in the mean time.
