Day 19

Today was our last really long travel day. We had a bit of a slow start this morning as Nicole and Ryan were a bit under the weather from last night. 

Today was the first day we had in Germany with the stores open so Nicole and I were on the hunt for Birkenstocks! We haven't shopped at all this entire trip -one because we don't have any room to carry things and two that's not really what the trip was about for us. We knew we wanted to get birks and had brought along an extra bag to carry them in since we only have two more days of lugging stuff around. We were both successful in finding sandals and they were about half of what we would pay in Canada.


We hopped on the train. It was a 4 hr ride to Koeln. We had a 3 hr layover there so we walked around for a bit- this is the sight that greeted us right outside the train station. It is almost as awesome as my favourite York Minster.


We had a nice sit down dinner in a restaurant. I did finally have the currywurst, it was ok, not a big fan.


I saw these in a store, they totally reminded me of Katie. She developed a love for Haribo and Happy Cola candies when she did her exchange in Luxembourg. 


We had two more trains to catch and have finally made it to our destination. I really liked staying in the Hostel. It was a really neat experience but I am looking forward to a good nights sleep with no strange men snoring in the bed next to me!

  1. Love the black shoes. I never think about the fact that snacks are different when you travel. So I guess there is one more day of touring then the big trek home.
