This is our first full day in Germany. We went on an all day tour of Köln and Düsseldorf. We started the day in Köln where we visited the Cathedral. Amy, Jason, and Trudy climbed to the top of the Cathedral (97.25 meters) and had an excellent view of the city. We had a traditional Köln lunch at Früh and had our first taste of German bier (Kölsch). After lunch, we drove to Düsseldorf on the Autobahn where we saw Frank Gehry buildings, shopped, and strolled in the Altstadt. It started to rain, but that could not stop us!! Back in Essen, we had dinner with Christoph Reimann (Tracey's host), and Emile and Machtheld Rijcken (Jason and Trudy's hosts).
