As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we went for a walk in Koblenz after dinner. As were heading out, we ran into our wonderful cabin attendant Michaela and her buddy down the hall, Daniela. They said they were going out to a nearby bar and asked us to go with them. Surprisingly, we made the right decision and told them to have fun but declined their offer. Right decision, Daniela got back at 1:00AM and Michaela got back at 3:30.

We got into Cologne this morning around breakfast time. Cologne is the 4th largest city in Germany. It is a large nice place, but does not have the charm of the cities we have seen earlier. The highlight of the day was our guide on the walking tour, Markus. Like Alex on the tour in Passau, he seemed to be a comic in tour guide disguise. We toured the city, ending up at Cologne Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe. After the Captain's Farewell Dinner tonight we are going on a Brauhaus tour (also known as a pub crawl) so it's time to rest up.
