Cologne

So we've tried many times to publish a post about Cologne, but for some reason the blog is being very finicky.

After Prague, we took a train to Cologne, in western Germany. Our first night there we ate at an amazing Japanese restaurant where we got to cook our own food. They had the most incredible spices to cook with.



The next day, we attempted to rent bikes so we could explore the city, but a set of bad directions led us to being confused and walking in circles around a cathedral.



So instead we walked around the town center. We found a sushi restaurant, but it was nowhere near as good as the sushi in Miami. We wandered around for a little bit longer and found a bridge that had lovers locks on it.




On the other side, there was an office building that had a panoramic view of Cologne. It was absolutely stunning!




The next day, we walked to a chocolate museum that was right on the river. It was a really cool experience and the chocolate was delicious! They showed how to make giant chocolate molds of things like bunnies, ships, and even buildings! There was a chocolate fountain that you could eat out of. Needless to say, it was delicious. It was basically the Blue Bell factory of Cologne; they showed it being molded, made, and packaged.




Also, they also had this rainforest room and we got a little taste of the weather back home! It was weird to actually miss the humidity!



Our last night there we had the best food we have eaten since leaving Houston.  It was an amazing South African restaurant.  We have no idea what we ordered, but we devoured every bite!
