Cologne, Germany



Cologne, Germany:  July 25
We arrived in Cologne at 2 am while we were sleeping.  The included walking tour began at 9 am but we opted out as we decided to do this one on our own.  Cologne is a larger city; not one of the little villages that we have previously visited.  The Cologne Cathedral, towering over the city, is a highlight.  We headed there first and were treated to beautiful organ music which made our inside visit really special to me.  



 Following this we wandered the streets filled with cafes and shops.  As sail away time was 12:30 pm, we were back onboard rather quickly!   Being a “wanna be” chef, I partook in the Galley Tour with Chef Attila.  I’ve been on ocean cruise vessel galley tours so wanted to see this little galley… it was quite small in comparison but remember that there are only 140 or so passengers on this ship!  It was fun to see and to chat with the Chef… the tour only lasted about 5 minutes!  LOL!

Again, prior to dinner there was another wine tasting (since this WAS a wine cruise) but we opted out as the wine flows freely at dinner and the Captain’s Cocktail party was scheduled for 6:30!
