Date of visit: August 13, 2010, around 6:00 p.m.
After leaving Hildesheim, we took the Autobahn and moved around. It was a beautiful day, but we didn’t do much sightseeing and just moved around.
Even if there’s no sightseeing, it’s a great drive in clear weather! The scenery is monotonous because it’s a highway, but after entering Germany, I finally felt that it was time to fly without hesitation. It had been raining or the condition of the road was not good so far.
The following section of the video is of course unlimited speed. However, it is running at about 180km/h.
It took quite a while, but we came to Cologne via Hannover Dortmund. We will stay here today.
We wandered around the city for a bit, but we made it to the hotel safely.
Cologne is a city that everyone in our family has been to at least three times. My father has been to Cologne more times than I can count, including work. So, no sightseeing. We enjoyed “Kölsch” at a pub near the hotel. (The top photo is the pub.)
It was delicious!
It was a day that took a lot of time to write in the diary. It’s a pity that we didn’t do much sightseeing on such a fine day, but it’s easier to run in good weather, so I didn’t feel too tired.
さて明日はモーゼルエリアを。そして一瞬ドイツを離れる予定です。旅も終盤さしかかってきます。（明日以降へ続く）
