Photo Album: Germany

(picking up the story from the last episode posted)

Skyler and I made our way from Austria to Germany with no border control problems (since there was no border crossing between Austria and Germany to worry about). Our first stop was the picturesque Bavarian city of Bamberg. The River Regnitz runs through the middle of the town, and the ceremonial town hall actually sets on an island in the river.

The next stop in Germany, and the last stop of our tour together, was a visit with Skyler's friends near Cologne (Köln, in the local tongue). Skyler and I got to visit the city and see the Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), yet another ancient cultural treasure. I was so happy to become friends with Maria, Cathin, and Andre (the family Clemens), and they took very good care of us during our visit. I was very sad when the time came to leave, but unfortunately I had a transatlantic flight to catch in London.

Traveling through eastern Europe was a unique experience I will always treasure. I had an excellent traveling companion, I saw things I had only read about in books, and met people I never would have otherwise. What more could one want in their travels?
