A Busy Day in Cologne...


While we didn’t manage to actually smell any cologne in Cologne (where in fact eau de Cologne originated), we did visit the famous Chocolate Museum. We loved seeing chocolate being made in the factory section and couldn’t resist buying some freshly-made truffles before settling down for lunch complete with fantastic hot chocolate. We also enjoyed visiting the Olympic Museum and the cathedral, which was one of the only buildings left standing in the city center after World War II. We ended the evening at the Claudius Therme, a spa with a huge pool fed from a thermal mineral spring.
