Europe Trip - Cologne & Marl
Day 1 (Flight)
Our first flight from Melbourne to Singapore on the A380 was delayed. On this sector I managed to stay awake. Was not particularly impressed with the range of movies but watched "No Strings Attached" and . I did like the fact that the screens were
We then got off the plane in Singapore and literally walked around the corner to the next plane. Our flight to Frankfurt on a 747-800. On this flight we had worked out that I needed to sleep a few hours as we would be arriving in the morning. I ended up with about 6 hours sleep, which was really good.

Day 2 (Cologne) - Photos of Cologne
We walked for what seems like ages to get from the luggage hall to the train to catch the international connecting train to Cologne. The train ride of just under 1 hour, travelling up to speeds of just over 300klm/hr. After arriving in
Cologne we checked into the hotel just next to the station. View outside our room was the Cologne Cathedral.
The rest of the day included:
Cathedral Dom (End of service so heard organ played. On way out rehearsing choir)*Walk through the Old Town on way to the Schokolade Museum. Ate Bratwurst in Brotchen (Sausage in Bread) and Pommes Frites on way to 2 hour cruise down the Rhine.
Finally to end the day we then had headed to Cologne Cathedral to organ concert with organist Winfried Bonig. He played Vierne, Bach, Durufle & Liszt.
