Firstly, Thank You to Mark for last nights guest appearance on the blog, his occasional contributions are always welcome (Clive, if you ever wanted to do one, I’d love it).
So today saw us moving further up the Rhine to Königswinter where we visited and took a ride on The DrachenfelsBahn one of only four surviving rack (a cog wheel on the train engages with a rack between the rails to haul itself up the 1-in-5 slope). Because time was limited We only stayed at the top for about 30 minutes.
Back on the boat for a midday is departure, and we were on our way to Cologne (Köln) where I had not been since the early 1980’s. Obviously, things were different to what I recall them. It was nice though to revisit the magnificent Cathedral, and with the help of our guide learn a few more things about the city.
