First stop of our Beer Fest: Cologne

Cologne Travel Blog › entry 2 of 5 › view all entries

Although I made a Euro-Trip blog, our travels in March 2008 did have a theme- drinking different types of alcohol!!! Can you blame us.... we have been in Iraq since August '07 and you cant jus go have a drink after a bad day, and NearBeer (aka non-alcoholic) dont cut it...

First stop of our Beer Fest: Cologne

The first Kolsch upon arrival. Later on the trip AKA 'Awful Goffel'

Once we landed in Frankfurt I wasted no time in ensuring to pick up our rental car. First off, yes we are crazy to rent a car in a country we have never driven thro nor are we familar with the signs. I told the dude who changed the language on our GPS that the signs should be common sense, but he jus shook his head, hoped that we would have a safe trip to Cologne!!!

I did not drink as soon as we got to the airport. I was soo pumped about getting to Cologne, it is not wise to even attempt to drive like that ..on the Autobahn?! thats suicide...

SHIFTING TROUBLE...

I'm not the best standard driver in the world and when i hopped in and noticed it was different than the little 5 speed Nissan work truck i drive in Tikrit...I freaked out. I panic " Blake WTF, i'm all confused.

..can you help me!!!!" Blake saved the day and drove the rest of the way to Cologne...

OHHHH SHITT!!!!

It wasn't what we had expected, we were being schooled by the Germans when we got on the road and eventually the Autobahn, muthaf*ckas y'all was goin 200+ km and we jus stayed in the middle lane...lol. It was a intense first hour but we pulled it off.

KOLN!

Upon arrival to Cologne, it was a hour and half drive from Frankfurt. We got there a lil after 10am. we parked at a Parking Lot and i was hungry, well we both were. I think we walked around a bit and took the whole place in, I dont know what Blake was feeling at the moment or how special this was for my friend but Cologne is a very special city to me.

I think we ate at a Greek restaurant..and I ordered 2 Kolsch, Blake never had Kolsch but it has a clean taste i told him. Drinking at 1030am!!! Buzzing right around lunch time : )
