Date of visit: August 14, 2010, around 10:00 a.m.

It’s August 14th. There are only three days left, and it’s sunny in Cologne this morning. Today’s first sightseeing is this World Heritage Site in the suburbs of Cologne.

「ブリュールのアウグストゥスブルク城と別邸ファルケンルス」

Augustusburg Castle (also translated as Augustusburg Palace) was built in the early 18th century by Clemens August von Bayern of the Wittelsbach family, who was also Archbishop of Cologne, the seat of the Elector. (see below)

I stopped visiting.

Well, I actually saw a little bit of the first two rooms. I ignored the guide and went on crunching and got stopped. Apparently I wasn’t able to communicate in English with the lady at the reception.

Then we didn’t go to the other one, Villa Falkenruss.

もっともヨーロッパのあちこちでこうした宮殿のなかを見てますのでそれほど残念とも思わなかったのが本音ですね。さあ気をとりなおして次へ向かいます。(続く)
