Puts REI to Shame...


When I saw that the Cologne tourist guide mentioned an outdoor adventure store in the Attractions section, we figured it was worth checking out. Boy was it right! Globetrotter was totally amazing! Four stories packed with adventure wear and gear. In addition, there was an aquarium with jellyfish, a pool for testing kayaks and taking scuba classes, a climbing wall within a bridge to an adjacent store, and a full-service restaurant (where we ate dinner). When Jimmy said he was going to test out the Goretex testing machine, Ashlynn quickly volunteered to join him. Unlike her daddy, she was smart enough to put on rainproof trousers and boots in addition to the coat. She managed to stay dry underneath the waterproofs in the storm cabinet, but silly Jimmy’s jeans and hiking boots got soaked.
