Germany, the Cologne conclusion....

So I liked Cologne best, maybe it was the sun, the wonderful sleep from the night before or simply the city itself. It's a beautiful place. Truly.
I had bucketloads of sleep in Frankfurt after forgoeing the night before. The hotel Cult was great. The best part were pillows shaped like pyramids and made of fluffy wonderfulness. A divine sleep was had!!


(and look who I met in the lobby!)

After my 13 hour kip, I was off to Frankfurt main train station. So very big, and so very clean! I was actually struck by the lack of litter and debris in the whole country. A welcome change from the rampant litterbug epidemic in Dublin. (I don't even need to mention the lack of peeing in the streets. - but oh, I just did!!)



The trainride was great, very quiet and fast, and the view coming into Cologne ensured that it was love at first sight, between the river and the Cathedral.
