Sunday, August 23, we are touring in Cologne, Germany. It is a beautiful old city.  The weather is definitely cooperating.  We did the walking tour of the city. Since it was Sunday we were only able to see the interior of the great Cologne Cathedral briefly.  Then mass began.  Also most stores were closed.

The ship was docked quite conveniently near the Chocolate Museum. We saw the history of many aspects of chocolate, from growing, harvesting, roasting, etc.  There were at least 3 floors of displays, many had interactive components. Then we walked amongst production machinery and had a sample from the chocolate fountain.  Finished our tour in the shop, buying our own bars to enjoy later.

We also crossed one of the city bridges and sat on the patio to taste a Kolsch beer.

Our cruise director gave a presentation on Germany that afternoon, also.
