Spent five days in Cologne with City & Guilds. Visited the Ludwig (with its massive Gerhard Richter exhibition), Wallraf-Richartz, Scnutgen & Kollwotz Museums, the glorious Dom by day & night to a Bach & Mozart concert, given by the Limburg Choir & Orchestra. Ventured further a field to Duisburg, Dusseldorf & Bonn to see more museums.
To balance the work ethic, time out meant some serious entertainment in numerous Brauhauser for Kolsch beers, German sausage & sauerkraut, washed down with another beer, followed by a schnapps or zwei, drei vier or even funf in some cases - sorry about the lack of umlauts.
