eau du Cologne

Yes Folks, we are in Koln or Köln or Cologne as we non europeans would call it. Home of the famous smelly stuff, eau du Cologne -4711. The main reason for me wanting to come here is that Cologne has a few good camera shops, as the world expo on new things Camera, "Photokina" is usually held here every September. So I managed to get a Canon Lens Adapter for my Sony body and a used Canon zoom lens.

We also saw the very very big Cathedral in Cologne, funnily enough referred to locally as the "dome" although it has 2 enormous towers/spires, like the Petronas Towers buildings in Malaysia.

This one did not sing

The famous smelly stuff (anyone under 40 please google)

It is a mountain of a Cathedral

And now a look inside

Conveniently, there was an ice creme seller below this installation art work.

I think this translates as Jewellery for mums or brides, but I just like Schmuck for Mums

Here is a bank they know who their customers are

This what happens if you park your bike in the wrong spot, an artist comes along and tapes it up.

Heading to Heeze (the Netherland ) tomorrow to meet up with Arno & Marianne.
