Our tour guide Joost suggested if anyone wanted to follow him into the town to go look at one of the largest Cathedrals, so most of us joined in. The moment we got into town and saw the cathedral, it was AMAZING! I have seen quite a number of cathedral but i tell you this one is just amazing. It took 600 years to complete and the amount of details you see on the structure just puts you in awe. Its a gothic structure known to the German's as Kölner Dom. It is the largest gothic catholic church in Northern Europe and it is huge. I wanted to take a picture of the whole structure but was not successful. Managed to get my camera to do some stitching work so might show you a part of the building.
Sadly when we got there (it was already around 8pm), it was already closed and we couldn't see the insides. I'm sure that the inside of the church must be as breathtaking as the outside. Walked around the area, which was next to the Rhine river and took somemore pictures. Started to leave the place around 10 and got home to the hotel to rest.
The next day, we set of to the Rhine river for our 2 hour cruise. It was beautiful. the scenery was just fantastic. vineyards, castles and monuments at the bank made the whole cruise very memorable. The amount of history that goes with everything made it all the more beautiful. It shows the age of the country and how it slowly develops to the country we know today. It also makes me wonder how young Malaysia is (dont you think so?).
After the cruise, we headed into Switzerland!! It was a long long drive but when we came into Switzerland, the mountains just blew you away!!!! Tell you more about it in my next post!! Enjoy the slide show (the one above)
