Köln and Münster

16.-18.7.2011

Köln

Alright, I have been day or two late in these blog updates but Ill try to take the gap back now. So In latest post we were in the wine farm.. So, after the lovely town at Mosel, we took our map on the car bonnet and decided to go to Köln. First big city of the road trip. Roof off and steady pace to Köln then. weather was ok, bit cloudy and we kept ok speed for the whole trip. Not much to tell, lunch in McDonalds and then to the hotel which was located bit side of the Köln, at least there was a train station near so we could get in and head into the town. The Hotel was cheap, around 55e for a night. Not much to tell about Köln. Of course the cathedral was very big and impressive, beautiful also but we were kind a, well, not satisfied about the place. Too big, too much crowd, just like any other big city on europe. So after few hours, back to hotel to get sleep. thats all about Köln.

Münster

Next day, which was rainy and cloudy, we decided to move only a bit to north direction, let say only 150km, into town called Münster. We took this town only because it had cheaper hotels than our other option, 50km further place called Osnabrück. But oh´boy it was a nice place. The hotel room was awesome (pics later) and the city was very pretty. Size of the city was, Id say something like Tampere in finland. We thought a moment to go to catholic service but then decided to for a beer instead nearby. So, there we were, chilling and relaxing with beer, watching the pretty evening and talking every sort of bullshit that evening. Last bus to the hotel went (20:30) so we took a cab back to hotel instead of trying to get there with nigh busses. Well, the taxi was as expensive than two bus ticks so not bad.

Münster was actually so nice place to be that I was thinking should we stay there another night but no, next day we left this pretty city and booked a hotel from place called Kiel, which is near Lübeck. This place is going to be the last city in germany, in this trip.
