Cologne

Today was a huge shopping day in Cologne. New clothes, Europe is fashion heaven!

We really wanted to climb the Cologne cathedral in the end, but unfortunately it was too late for that in the evening. It is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe and one of the largest churches in the world, and standing just in front of it is really mind-blowing.

Cologne Cathedral

The Cologne Cathedral dates back to 1248 and took until 1880 to complete.
