Breakfast is included! Having eaten our fill, we went to have a look at the sights of Cologne. To be truthful we could have left a little later as not much seems to get going very early in Germany. We walked past mainly closed shops on our way to the Dom (Cathedral). Unfortunately the weather has remained the same so although stunning and huge the cathedral remained shrouded in grey dreary light. Not great for photographs!
We had a walk down to the Rhein and looked at the many pretty medieval buildings that line the water front. Being the main tourist area these are almost all now hotels, bars and restaurants. After looking at several other old churches we had the highlight of the day which was buying some more fuel for the stove and a pair of waterproof socks for Debbie. Such is the life of a cycle tourer, comfort and food first, sightseeing later!
Having bought some fantastic bread and cakes from one of the many bakeries we called it a morning and went back to the hotel to sort our stuff for tomorrow.
We headed out again early evening after a rest, bound for the restaurants and beer houses of the waterfront. We enjoyed a few beers and some traditional German faire and then called it a night. Hopefully not so far tomorrow and the internet informs us that the camp-site is open! Weather still looking grey though but should be warmer.
