Touching down in Cologne was hands down the highlight of my month! After a long journey, the first thing on my agenda was to get some rest—and that I did. But there was one delightful surprise that I didn’t expect a robot delivered our drinks! I mean, how cool is that? It felt like a scene out of a futuristic movie, but leave it to Europe to wow me with innovation.
The only slight hiccup? The robot brought us sparkling water. Now, if you know me, you’ll know that sparkling water and I are not friends at all! Still, it was a fun experience that kicked off the trip with a bit of humor.
The next day, after a good night’s sleep and feeling refreshed, it was time to explore the city!
We headed to the train station, conveniently located at the airport, and purchased our tickets for just €3.99. With tickets in hand, we were ready to see what Cologne had to offer. The anticipation was building, and I couldn’t wait to dive into the heart of the city.
And then, we arrived.
Cologne Cathedral, where do I even start?
This architectural masterpiece took my breath away. It was everything I imagined and more. Standing tall and proud, it felt like a symbol of history and grandeur all wrapped into one.
The intricate details of the Gothic structure, the towering spires, and the sheer scale of the cathedral left me speechless. Pictures hardly do it justice, but trust me, I took a ton of them anyway!
The cathedral is more than just a landmark; it’s a reminder of human ingenuity and devotion over centuries. As I stood there, gazing up at its towering beauty, I couldn’t help but feel humbled.
After soaking in the sights at the cathedral and doing a bit of touristy shopping (because who can resist?), we made our way to an Asian restaurant where I had the pleasure of meeting up with my sister.
Seeing her brought so much joy, and I couldn’t help but wish we lived closer—maybe even in the same city. I like to think we’d take care of each other, or at least have fun doing so, ha!
The day was filled with laughter, good food, and a sense of awe as I embraced the European vibe.
Welcome to Europe indeed! This was only the beginning of what I’m sure will be a memorable adventure.
