mmm yum!! I flew from Barcelona to Cologne to take advantage of the Xmas Markets and drink Gluwhein. hoo boy! I stuffed myself silly for 5 days. Waffles, Bratwurst, Potato fritters, chocolate dipped strawberries, pork roll, pretzels and more!

I spent the first day wandering through the Chocolate Museum and around the Xmas markets. Themarkets all started to look the same after a while, but i tasted the Gluwhein numeroustimes!It wasgood. still I prefer the White instead of the red Gluwhein. The Lindt Chocolate Museum was great! Not enough free chocolate samples though.

I had 5 days in Germany so spent the next 3 days exploring Munster, Aachen and Bonn. It was lovely!

The highlight of the trip for me was I think seeing inside St Ursula's Church and seeing the bones on the walls. There is a rich Roman history in Cologne too. During WW2 a bunker was being dug for shelter and they discovered a mosaic from the Roman days... holy moly!
