Köln (Cologne)

Köln (29.4. & 30.4.)
Cologne is like a 3D textbook on history and architecture and is Germany's fourth-largest city, located along River Rhine.  Cologne's geographical and spiritual heart and its single-biggest tourist draw is the magnificent Kölner Dom. It escaped WWII bombing raids with nary a shrapnel wound and has been a Unesco Word Heritage Site since 1996. The Dom is Germany's largest cathedral and has the 24-tonne Peter Bell, the largest working bell in the world, located inside.

After climbing 533 steps to the top of Kölner Dom we got this beautiful view.

 Cologne is also famous for Eau de Cologne (German: Kölnisch Wasser; lit: Water of Cologne), a perfume created by Italian expatriate Johann Maria Farina at the beginning of the 18th century.

 Meeting my penpal Raji for the first time after 9 years of writing was one of the best things!
