Holiday ... Cologne, Germany, Maastricht, Netherlands

 9th May

We disembarked the boat for a walking tour through the city centre of Cologne.  The major landmark was the gothic Cathedral of Cologne.














In the afternoon I went by coach to the Netherlands to see the historic city centre of Maastricht - home to Andre Rieu. 

It rained most of the time so we were restricted in going places outside.  We mainly looked through the boutiques.




 Bikes, bikes and more bikes!
A beautiful book store
beautiful architecture
 


In the days before street numbers, they used pictures usually of animals to identify places ... note the goat
