Lady at the Christmas Markets in Cologne
Blog: A Lady in London - 5 December 2011
When my flight landed at Dusseldorf airport the border agent asked me why I was visiting Germany. “The Christmas markets in Cologne,” I told him. “Ugh. Why do all you foreigners like them so much?” he asked. I was nervous. The seven Christmas markets in Cologne were famous all over the world, and yet the [...]

Sleep Overs: Cologne And The Schloss Effect
Blog: Uncommontravel - 4 March 2011
A schloss -- a german castle -- is not necessarily all it’s made out to be. This one seemed to gobble up guests. I couldn’t find anyone else staying there. At times I couldn’t even find myself.

Germany: Our last driving hurrah and sausagefest!
Blog: The Amazing Dawdle - 23 September 2010
After Poland, we were excited to return back to Western Europe. We missed the variety of breads, relative safety factor, and our wide breadth of language skills here (the 5 phrases or words we know... like thank you and hello…), and clean bathrooms (OK – so you sometimes have to pay for them), which now means Christy could travel without a wad of TP or Kleenex in her pocket. That being said, we will miss the inexpensive way of life in Eastern Europe… everything simply costs less and so we will discover sticker shock again!

Blog: Inside the Travel Lab - 31 August 2010
They say that you never forget your first time – and for me that was in Seville. While strolling along in the unfiltered sunshine, sharp flashes of light caught my eye. This was it, this was what I had heard about:

Germany: World Cup Madness, Beer, Sausage & Good Friends
Blog: The Amazing Dawdle - 15 July 2010
We started off our German adventure with great enthusiasm. Christy is of German (not forgetting the Polish part either) heritage, and we both were really keen to visit Germany – especially to see some of the areas that we had never seen before. We planned our route based on the Rhine River, a few stays with friends, and areas we really wanted to see (grapes! hills! small villages!)Cologne

Love Padlocks
Blog: UnpoppedCollar - 30 June 2010
Cologne blew me away for many reasons, but one of the coolest things I saw is on the Hohenzollern Bridge near the Cathedral and Hauptbahnhof. Couples write their names on padlocks and then attach them to the chainlink fence which stretches across the Rhine river. If I had to guess, I’d say there are close to 10,000 locks on the bridge, which makes for quite a cool public monument. Some photos:

New beergeek.TV Episode – Three Cities, Three Styles
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 18 August 2009
“Three Cities, Three Styles” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time. We are firm believers in beer needing to be tried in context of its culture. “Three Cities, Three Styles” was born out of this belief. We visited three German cities, Dortmund, Düsseldorf and Cologne, that each has it’s own unique style of [...]

Wuppertal I say to you and Wuppertal once more Sirs. Wuppertal is where I’m just passing through on the train as I write today’s entry of STBB. Amazingly the predictive text on my phone offered up Wuppertal when I was only a Wupp in, that’s quite the dictionary. Anyway enough of all this Wuppertal wubbish. [...]

Curry pasta
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 5 August 2009
This hostel is miles better and more in tune with the hostelling experience, the last gaff was too instituionalised. I’m going to try and avoid HI hostels on the whole as although some have been good plenty of them don’t have fun very high on the agenda. This place does a half litre bottle of [...]

Oh de Cologne
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 30 July 2009
A short distance down the Rhein from Düsseldorf is Köln, our last beer style city of the trip. This was our third time to Germany’s oldest city, but our first time really exploring beyond the Dom, the dominant landmark of the city. Köln is the home of Kölsch, another top fermented and lagered German beer. Köln [...]
