29th July
Arrived late into Cologne (1030hrs) instead of 0830hrs dueto loss of one of the engines on the ship.

Took walking tour with local guide "Oute" who was animated and very good. Came back to the ship for lunch (what's another kilo ot two?) and then headed back out on our own to visit St Apostela (Romanesque church), a protestant church and the Cologne Cathedral. The size of the cathedral is indescribable, it is enormous!

Before entering the Cathedral we stopped for coffee and listened to a small group of street buskers (a violinist and two piano accordianists). They were very good, it suprised us that a lot of people just walked by!
