Cologne; Thursday, 04 August, 2011

Thankfully the train pulled into Köln Hauptbahnhof on platform 1, so it was a simple walk off the platform onto the Cathedral terrace, then down a short flight of steps to the hotel.

Having checked in and freshen up I went for a short walk around the cathedral area and then over the bridge to Deutz and up the Triangle tower to take in the views.

Then it was back over the bridge to one of the restaurants by the riverside for a spot of dinner, another wander around the cathedral area and then back to the hotel for a good night’s sleep.
