We moored in Cologne at 08:00 and went for a walking tour of the city. Ten years ago an American was puzzled why they'd built a cathedral next do to the main railway station. The guide this time told us that a temporary station was built in the late 1800s so that stone could be offloaded to finish building the cathedral and never moved.
After lunch we took a walk in the sun along the riverside, across on the rail bridge, back along the other bank and across a road bride. Back on the boat, Professor Marcus Pohl was giving a fascinating talk about life in Germany.
