First day in Cologne

It took us a little time to get into town, check-in and have lunch. Especially after we had done the "The Stupid Family Roam" which usually begins with Jordy wants to eat somewhere, in this case KFC, which is then deemed as unacceptable for various reasons,(too expensive, try something/somewhere new, we can do that in NZ, don't want to),then we roam uptown and downtown for an average of half an hour, only to end up back where we started; By which time we are so fed up we decide to hang the expense and just eat here. You would think that after 6 years of this, we would know better.

To further add to our discontent, it was now too late to make visiting museums worthwhile. But it wasn't as bad as it sounded this time because during our roam we had managed to see a few of the tourist sights.-Heinzelmaennchenbrunnen
-Peek&Cloppenburg Weltstadthaus
-the Dropped Cone
-The Naked Guy(Not the real name, guess who it's modelled on?)



The "Dom" (cathedral) was open so we had a really good look through.(More later). So what's left to do once the museums etc.. are closed? Go to the pub of course. Very authentic german pub, with excellent waiters. Even I tried the local beer. The table we sat at was reserved for 7.30pm. Just enough time to have 4 beers(@1.35 Euros/200mls) and a coke(2euros).cheap.

Next on the agenda......the "stupid family Roam" sigh.
