We finally arrived in Cologne!  I was excited to see the Koln Cathedral - another UNESCO site! The cathedral is one of the largest in the world and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe.  As we were exiting the parking lot and walking toward the cathedral, I think it was the…

So I got to know of an organisation through a friend of mine that organises Summer Universities throughout the european countries called AEGEE and it was one of my best holiday experiences.I travelled for two weeks with a mix of personalities from Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Russia, UK, Turkey and so on, …

Well…not much to say about this day! I got up, caught my bus to the airport, got on my plane, flight took me three hours this time, due to time difference, arrived in Cologne, took a train to Exhibition halls, as there a motorcycle fair took place, my parents visited. I met up and drove home with…

This morning we were up at 6 am for our second day of the tour.  Breakfast was the same as yesterday, but somehow being in Europe made it taste better.  Today we will be on the bus to Germany.  The autobaun is fast, except that there is no speed limit and drivers follow the “slow…

Every time my son visits me here in Brussels, we try to visit some new places outside Brussels and this day we decided to go to Köln which is 1½ hour drive from Brussels or 177 km. It was a grey day with dust rain in the air but the road conditions were great and there was not much traffic, so …

Today we rose early, about 6a.m. for a long travel day. Again, a very good breakfast at the hotel. On the bus at 7:15a.m. and on our way to Germany.  My knee was sore from all the walking yesterday. Our first stop was along the autobaun at a gas station for the U-know-what-break. Very clean an…
