Tried to upload pictures while traveling to Cologne Tuesday afternoon, but Microsoft Windows and my phone were not cooperative. After a wonderful dinner on Tuesday night, there was a trivia game in the lounge. I played with people I have met on board, but my deficiency in literature, music, English language and biology did not help. It was also weird that the sun was still up at 9:45 PM
Wednesday morning woke up at 4am and saw that it was light out. I then had trouble going back to sleep and finally dragged myself out of bed a few hours later and had coffee on the sun deck as we continued to Zons. We were late getting into Zons, and there was bad traffic getting to Cologne, but along the way our tour guide gave us a nice history of the area, its ties to the Romans and the history of the city. When we got to Cologne we went to the Cathedral Church of St. Peter. Learned about its history and got to tour the inside. It is still an active church that is constantly under renovation.
At that point we could continue to walk around the shopping area or head back to the ship. I went back to the ship and then took a rickshaw to the Chocolate museum. I really enjoyed that experience of learning all about making chocolate, their greenhouse and tasting some of the delights. I then had a crepe au chocolat before taking the rickshaw back to the hotel.
I finally got the pictures for the last 2 days up in the Pictures section. I am hoping to stay awake tonight to see the city at night
