Dom, Koln (Cologne), Germany
On Day 5 we began in Aachen, where we grabbed a Belgian waffle (having been unable to find one in Belgium). We then took a short drive across the border into the Netherlands, and saw some of the architecture and sights that the Dutch have to offer. To finish off our week, we visited one of the greatest cathedrals in Germany, the Dom of Cologne (Koln). Climbing the stairs on the right, we finally arrived at a viewing deck that takes you around the top of the twin spires, 500-some feet above ground level. After we continued to view some of the unbelievable sights of the Dom, we finished by browsing the streets of Cologne.
