the VanGogh Museum --one of my favorite things on the trip!

COLOGNE CATHEDRAL - Germany's most visited site.  It boast the second tallest spires in the world and the tallest in northern Europe.  In World War II Cologne was heavily bombed --as a result, the cathedral is covered with dark soot (the extensive damage from that time has been repaired).  Today efforts to clean the stone to the original white are underway, however there are those who feel it should remain as a result of the war.  It is massive --the height makes you dizzy.  Beautiful.
