Route

Walked to the centre of Köln, through the town of Frechen, the suburbs of Marsdorf, Junkersdorf and Braunsfeld, and through many beautiful green parks, including the Hiroshima-Nagasaki memorial park, where I got talking to Lutkovich who gave me some tips on what to see and do in the city.

I visited Kölner Dom [Cologne Cathedral], the tallest cathedral in the world and the tallest double-spired church in the world. As you can see from the pictures it is very impressive and it towers over the other buildings of the city. Here I got talking to Alejandro, who was travelling around Europe from Argentina, and was keen to hear about my travels.
