Last time I was there we had a picnic in the Dom.
My Nans doing. On being queried she said “It’s the house of God and if he was here he’d feed you.”

The catheral is immense and really impressive but what else is there there. Thought it was a pretty dull city and they only give you beers in 0,2l glasses; one swig and it's finished!!

Lots of bullet holes from the war in the buildings, nice river, great barges and the Museum Ludwig is a big art gallery, stunning cathedral.

Yes a coupe of times. I agree it is a wonderful city. I went on the "underground" walking tour which was very interesting.

The Dom is mightily impressive.

My dad visited Koln briefly. He didn't really like it. He went with around 7,000 other people on May the 30th - seventy-seven years ago.

Last time I was in Cologne was for England v Sweden. I was lying in bed kept awake by “oh Burnley is wonderful” from a bar outside.
