DAY 6 - Friday November 24 Cologne, Germany

Our last full day in Germany...we decided to go to Cologne to go see the Christmas markets and walk around. On our way to cologne we stopped to see this little Castle. There are castles everywhere in Germany...


Small Castle just outside Dusseldorf...i forget the name of the town.







This is the town the caslte was in...very cute and quaint. I liked it.



"Monkey Trap" tree...apparently it's called this because the needles are very sharp and they are pointed upwards. So, a monkey can climb up it, but can't get back down without hurting itself.

The Cologne Christmas Markets. There were 5 different markets within the city. I think we hit about 3 or 4 of them. They were fabulous!



A few pictures of Cologne...



A didgeridoo!!!

I of course had to try a bratwurst at the market!



We had gone to Cologne with Leslie and some of her friends from church. They were all so nice and it was a lot of fun..

After Cologne, we went back to Dusseldorf and hung out with the Crapo's...we watched a movie on their projector. Then we packed and got ready so that we could head back to Frankfurt first thing the next morning.

It was a fun trip - I'm glad I went! I'm trying to decide where i'm going to go next year! :)
