9/8/18 Bohn to Cologne

Today was a 23 mile ride along the Rhine river from Bohn (home of Beethoven ) to Cologne.  We are now in the beer part of Germany. We had lunch in Cologne with the local Kolsch beer served in small glasses (not the big mugs you see in the Bavarian region).

The tradition (started in Paris) of putting locks on a fence when a couple gets married is everywhere  in Europe.

The cathedral in Cologne is the third highest holy building in the world. We stopped to say a few prayers and light a candle for Brian. They started to build it  in the 1100’s and it took 600 years to build.

Tomorrow we ride to Amsterdam.
