This is just a quick update as we get ready for the train to Amsterdam. Yesterday we woke up to thunderstorms and rain, but that thankfully passed after breakfast. We took a wonderful and informative tour of the Koln Cathedral, which took 600 years to build and houses relics of the 'Three Wise Men." We took pictures and videos, but it was so awe-inspiring that we don't think any of our images will do it justice. It was simply amazing to experience.
After Koln, we headed up to Dusseldorf and checked into a very clean and spacious room at Hotel Flora. They gave us the largest room in the hotel, which was quite a change from the Station Hostel we stayed in the previous night. We took a tram to the old town, had a delicious Thai dinner with our friend Sonja, and watched some tango dancers in the square. Then we talked and walked around the old town before a firework show! Turned out there was a big carnival with roller coasters and such and the finale was a very impressive firework show that lasted probably half an hour. It was a beautiful end to a beautiful night!
Now off to catch our train!
