In the morning we walked the streets of Cologne. Scott's mum did advise us we would be doing heaps of walking and she wasn't wrong. My feet are aching.
Next time we go on one of these holidays we are going to take a pedometer just to see how much we do walk.
We saw the amazing cathedral in Cologne and near it there is a roman tile floor they uncovered while digging for a bomb shelter during the war. It is so beautiful and to think its survived 1800yrs.
We got back on the boat at 12 for lunch then back off again so that we could bus to the Floriade, which is a horticultural expo. Not quite the flower show the travel agent advised but was still interesting.
There was a guy called "The Willowman" who lives in the forest were the expo was held and he makes everything out of willow. He works with the local kids who help him build the structures. Took heaps of pictures of this creations.
We were back on board the boat at 6.30 then we had the Captains fairwell dinner, which was yummy as always.
Thankfully we have a free day today in Amsterdam and our Cruise Director is taking us "window shopping" tonight ;)
But right now I'm back to bed to try and fight this sore throat I've got, everyone's been sick on board and I thought I had been able to avoid it but no luck......
Oh and just in case you were going to ask , no we cant take pictures when "window shopping"
