Cologne (Koln)

We spent 18 hours in Cologne, Germany on the Rhine River. We stayed in a hotel for the first time since Istanbul. We rented bicycles at the train station that we returned the next day. We visited the Cologne Cathedral and the Cladius Therme baths.

The Cologne Cathedral - not as big as St.Peter's, but it seems like it is

The Rhine is a big green river in Cologne

Zoe at Cladius Therme - a bath rebuilt on the grounds of a Roman mineral bath. It had various pools and saunas including a turbo-charged lazy river and brine floating pool. A great way to refresh on a hot day.
