Even though we're going to Cologne as a group this Wednesday, six of us went to Cologne on Saturday to explore. The first thing we saw of the city, right outside the Hauptbahnhof, was the Dom (cathedral). After wandering around inside, seeing the sarcophagus containing the relics of the three Magi, and being shooed out of the nave by the clergy so they could prepare for the Daily Office, we climbed the belfry--all 533 steps to the top. The steps were extremely narrow and barely provided enough room for the two-way traffic they were supposed to facilitate. After we came down, we had a little fun with Reveille and went to a pizzeria for lunch. Next, we wandered around the shopping district and looked at a few costumes for Karneval. After another picture with Reveille, we took the WRONG train back to Bonn, and had a little fun figuring out how to get back home. Exhausted, we eventually figured it out and parted ways--a day well-spent!
