Day one by the time the afternoon rolls around we have walked thro most of downtown Cologne. The streets were crowded and we found a couple beer vendors and found a nice lil mini-beer garden to sit down and watch the world go by!!
How exilerating, to sit and chat and drink, be merry after our 10 month ordeal...we didnt chat on the war...we knew we would be back there shortly
We had more Kolsch..and by 2pm i was very 'Happy'. I called my german friend Pamela, because we had discussed meeting for dinner.
DUDE..WHERE'S OUR CAR...
"Dag?"
"Jah Pam its Jess"
I realized a minute into the conversion I couldnt remember where we had parked or where our car was. She was ready for us to get here around 4 pm but i told her we had to find where our car was first.
So me and Blake looked around to where the Dom was at and we walked toward it to get a good feel for direction of our car. it was located southeast ...40 minutes later we found the parking lot!! Ah well we walked all the beer off. The lesson learned from this story is write down what name of the street address down before u go anywhere, you might save yourself precious time and money.It was good seeing Pam, she took us to a German restaurant and they had good food, too bad I never wrote the name of the restaurant down but when I go back there again i know i can find it even tho my sense of direction is....slow
After dinner we turned our rental car in at Cologne/Bonn Airport, crashed out in our hotel, Kommetz or Kommeltz near the backend of the Bahnhoft and rested for our next big travel day
NEXT STOP...AMSTERDAM, HOLLAND
I liked it here,it was the only bar still open around midnight. This bar/ restaurant felt cosy, like a bar back home. I rememeber they had Russeldorf on tap, Sion, Ganser and of course it's namesake Lowenbrau.
I have to say that Kolsch here was good, where I was sitting at there were free matchboxes with their address on it and the staff were friendly too, Turks!
Couple of televisions, the bathroom was located downstairs where you can peak at the restaurant staff and the kitchen.
This bar is located near the Rheine river, Lowenbrau!
