Dusseldof to Cologne to Vancouver!

So i think this will be the last blog of our honeymoon! and what a honeymoon it has been! Josh and I cannot believe we are coming home tomorrow, not so much looking foward to the 10 hour flight, but cannot wait for the sushi that we will eat as our first meal back..

Our last day in Germany was spent in Cologne.. about 30 min. by train from Dusseldorf. It has an enormous, take your breath away, cathedral, right when you exit the train station, which Josh and i decided that climbing the 506 steps to the top would be a good idea.. not.. but hey, once in a lifetime right? Cologne is a pretty interesting city, lots of shopping, a great old town, bike lanes for as far as the eye can see, and a fairly liberal outlook on life- we just so happened to go during their Gay Pride Celebration! that was quite a shocker.. tons of people drinking and dancing in the streets- it reminded me of UBC´s Arts County Fair.. there were 3 stages, one was a booming techno stage, we actually saw a half naked man dancing on the stage??! Crazy things we have seen here i tell ya! We went to the Lindt chocolate museum and saw some really interesting, some might say geeky, mechanical machines and how chocolate is made. We strolled along the river and watched some strange folk dancing in the street.. so for the most part it was a super relaxing way to spend the day.

We leave tomorrow at 11 am.. only to get to Van at noon, same day.. gotta love the time difference!

what a trip this has been! cant wait to talk to you all about it, and reminice about the wedding.. which feels like 10 years ago!!

thanks for reading! we love you all!
