Cologne

I arrived in Cologne late in the afternoon. I walked out of the train station, and there it was, the famous Dom (Cologne Cathedral). It was under renovation but it still looked very grand.

To me Cologne is associated with Eau de Cologne, and the number 4711, which was the house number of the maker's home. The next day I bought a small flask of 4711 from a pharmacy in the city. I still have it in my toiletry cabinet and it still smells as good!
Evidently I took a walk down the shopping street at night.

A night time view of the Dom from the other bank of the Rhine.
