![11-08-07_1926.jpg](t_11-08-07_1926.jpg)
You were able to smell that shop from three streets away. |
![11-08-07_1946.jpg](t_11-08-07_1946.jpg)

![11-08-07_2101.jpg](t_11-08-07_2101.jpg)

Kinda crowded! |
![12-08-07_1418.jpg](t_12-08-07_1418.jpg)
The next day. Half the way up on the Koelner Dom! |
![12-08-07_1419.jpg](t_12-08-07_1419.jpg)
What? There's more? AAARGH!! |
![12-08-07_1420.jpg](t_12-08-07_1420.jpg)
But this is a nice view! |
![12-08-07_1429.jpg](t_12-08-07_1429.jpg)
AAAAAAAh! I had three heart attacks on my way up, but this view is worth it! |
![12-08-07_1430.jpg](t_12-08-07_1430.jpg)
Luckily I am not afraid of heights! (Like a girl we've met upstairs...) |
![12-08-07_1431.jpg](t_12-08-07_1431.jpg)
Look at the Rhine!! |
![12-08-07_1432.jpg](t_12-08-07_1432.jpg)
Look how safe it is! |
![12-08-07_1433.jpg](t_12-08-07_1433.jpg)
The decades definetly left their marks. |
![12-08-07_1434.jpg](t_12-08-07_1434.jpg)
I wonder who did that? |
![12-08-07_1435.jpg](t_12-08-07_1435.jpg)
Nice architecture! |
![12-08-07_1436.jpg](t_12-08-07_1436.jpg)
But we were not ALL the way up! |
![12-08-07_1437.jpg](t_12-08-07_1437.jpg)
Yay!! We did it!! |
![12-08-07_1438.jpg](t_12-08-07_1438.jpg)

Somewhere over here must be Karin, studying... |
![12-08-07_1441.jpg](t_12-08-07_1441.jpg)
That's not bird crap, that's graffiti!! |
![12-08-07_1442.jpg](t_12-08-07_1442.jpg)
Where is the music coming from? |
![12-08-07_1443.jpg](t_12-08-07_1443.jpg)
Admiring the view. |
![12-08-07_1444.jpg](t_12-08-07_1444.jpg)
It is a bird!! It is a plane!! |
![12-08-07_1445.jpg](t_12-08-07_1445.jpg)
No, it is a tourist... |
![12-08-07_1453.jpg](t_12-08-07_1453.jpg)
Let... me... out!! |
![12-08-07_1454.jpg](t_12-08-07_1454.jpg)
On our way down, we saw a bell. |
![12-08-07_1500.jpg](t_12-08-07_1500.jpg)
24 metric tons of pure sound baby!! |
![12-08-07_1501.jpg](t_12-08-07_1501.jpg)
Word of advise... Don't be in here when it is ringing. |
![12-08-07_1517.jpg](t_12-08-07_1517.jpg)
Yay, we made it safe back down. |
![12-08-07_1518.jpg](t_12-08-07_1518.jpg)
The train took a detour... |
![12-08-07_1545.jpg](t_12-08-07_1545.jpg)
O yeah, the famous Koelner Karneval. |
![12-08-07_1554.jpg](t_12-08-07_1554.jpg)
No, those are always dressed like that. |
![12-08-07_1555.jpg](t_12-08-07_1555.jpg)
Woohoo! Ships!! |
![12-08-07_1557.jpg](t_12-08-07_1557.jpg)

![12-08-07_1558.jpg](t_12-08-07_1558.jpg)
I am hungry!! |
![12-08-07_1602.jpg](t_12-08-07_1602.jpg)
But first, let's have a tinkle. |
![12-08-07_1603.jpg](t_12-08-07_1603.jpg)
The entrance. |
![12-08-07_1604.jpg](t_12-08-07_1604.jpg)
First floor is about coca beans. The second one about the Azteks. The third one is product placement. And Ads. |
![12-08-07_1626.jpg](t_12-08-07_1626.jpg)
Monkey wants banana!! |
![12-08-07_1627.jpg](t_12-08-07_1627.jpg)
So this is what a jungle looks like... |
![12-08-07_1643.jpg](t_12-08-07_1643.jpg)
A machine, used to crush beans. |
![12-08-07_1645.jpg](t_12-08-07_1645.jpg)
They build a full working machine into the museum! |
![12-08-07_1646.jpg](t_12-08-07_1646.jpg)
And a chocolate fountain!! |
![12-08-07_1647.jpg](t_12-08-07_1647.jpg)
And IFM! |
![12-08-07_1651.jpg](t_12-08-07_1651.jpg)
This is what chocolate looks like without a wrapper. |
![12-08-07_1652.jpg](t_12-08-07_1652.jpg)
Careful... Caaaareful... |
![12-08-07_1653.jpg](t_12-08-07_1653.jpg)
Okay, but where does all the yummy chocolate come from?? |
![12-08-07_1656.jpg](t_12-08-07_1656.jpg)
And the final stage |
![12-08-07_1659.jpg](t_12-08-07_1659.jpg)
I found the easter bunny!! |
![12-08-07_1701.jpg](t_12-08-07_1701.jpg)
And the easter turtles. |
![12-08-07_1702.jpg](t_12-08-07_1702.jpg)
Mama bunny and papa bunny. |
![12-08-07_1708.jpg](t_12-08-07_1708.jpg)
Chocolate makes you strooooong! |
![12-08-07_1709.jpg](t_12-08-07_1709.jpg)
I think we got the same one somewhere back home. |
![12-08-07_1710.jpg](t_12-08-07_1710.jpg)
This machine makes the easter bunnys hollow. |
![12-08-07_1724.jpg](t_12-08-07_1724.jpg)

![12-08-07_1726.jpg](t_12-08-07_1726.jpg)
