Day 149

On Friday I took my first ever ICE train and traveled up to 250 km/hour to Cologne. With its majestic cathedral, gorgeous architecture and exciting art collection, one merely has stroll around to enjoy the city. From there we traveled to Düsseldorf, ascended the Rheinturm and soaked in the city at sunset, glancing down from a height of 170m.

During an unexpected detour on Saturday we stumbled upon some crazy drivers circling the Nürburgring. Every car imaginable races down this public race track, reaching incredible speeds. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and even a little city golf flew past us.

As we drove through rolling hills of bright green grass and attractive yellow raps plantations, we discovered tiny villages with narrow crooked paths and dilapidated stone houses.

But the best is yet to come. Deliciously sweet German white wine: Darting Riesling Kabinett...even red wine lovers can appreciate this.
