We have enjoyed exploring Cologne and surrounds. Went to a lunchtime concert by the Cologne Philharmonic Orchestra, and today cycled a 105 km return trip to Konigswinter (via Bonn), where the "castle alley" starts. The Rhine really is a beautiful river.
On our ride, I saw a 40 year old Mercedes 4-5 truck (in mint condition), similar to the ones we used to have in the army. So many of them were destroyed by landmines, such a waste of excellent engineering.
We came across a lovely field of poppies just outside of Bonn. There seems to be almost a carnival atmosphere in Cologne at the moment, maybe because the floods have receded and the sunny weather has returned.
