driving in Deutschland

After a very restful stay in Eysins with Amma & Thatha, lots of yummy food, chats and fun, we departed for our short stay to Köln. Amma got up mega early to pack us some bites (cutlets and patties, as well as some rice packets ;-).

The sun was shining, and we were zipping across the Industrial heartland of Germany, which doesn't have the rustic appeal of the French countryside, nor the picture-postcard views of the Swiss countryside. Despite this, M was loving the German autobahn, especially when we got to the speed-limit free section of the motorway. I now know why the Germans make the best cars - they actually let you drive them to the limit!

We finally got to Köln at 4pm, as the primary purpose of this visit was to meet up with Hira, we are staying at the same hotel as her, which was quite lucky since it is very centrally placed, and right next door to the famous Köln cathedral, which took over 600 years to build!
