We had a most excellent day yesterday... Just relaxing until we berthed at Cologne late afternoon. We did the guided city walk and ended up at the magnificent cathedral. Very majestic.
Cologne was totally delightful. Once our tour guild abandoned us at the cathedral, we had to find our own way back through the streets. It was so very hot and quite humid, moisture coming straight off the Rhine. We naturally had yo rehydrate... The boys soon found a nice establishment offering a refreshing beverage.. or two. I love the custom here in Germany. The waitress brought the boys a very small glass of beer...and kept bringing fresh ones as they emptied the glass until they put their coaster on the glass...all very civilised.
I found the designer shops...nice. Nestled amongst them was a teeny little shop...the 4711 boutique. Oh my...not quite the 'nanna' scent at all. They had a lovely range I'd never seen before. Some floral but also the most lovely citrus range. I ended up buying the 'Neuvo' it's a delightful citrus based Eau de Cologne. Very light and fresh...perfect for summer.
