We did many fun things today. One of them was visit the massive cathedral here in Cologne. We climbed the bell tower. It was 533 steps and about 150 meters high. A good reminder I should go to the gym tomorrow. It is a lovely church with a very nice view of the Rhine.
I also learned som German phrases. Jan and I practiced them on the stairs and all over the city:
Der Rhein ist ein Fluss
Die Kirmes ist am Fluss
If you can figure out what a Kirmes is then you will know what we did tonight. Otherwise you will have to wait for another blog.
I also taught Jan 6 English words. I only have to learn one a day but he has to learn more because he is better. Today they were: crush, gravy, awkward, yeast, mould, keg
Brings back memories of our visit to Cologne when our riverboat tied up just outside the cathedral
