Koln: Padlocks and Goulash

A bit of a "moochy" day really, we have spent the day looking around shops, Jan bought some stuff and we continue our quest to check out every cake shop in Koln! We walked over one of the Rhine bridges, and explored some of the east bank.

 

We returned over the "Hohenzollern" bridge, where it has become the custom for people to leave padlocks on the safety fence - with messages engraved on them. This is a remarkable sight actually, it's become a tourist attraction and is so good because it's been generated by public enthusiasm with no corporate input, it's also nice and quirky!

Jan thinks she's found the best chips in the world, from a little back street fast food eateries, it's the paprika apparently. Chill in' in the hotel now, and planning to sample some "goulash" later - Sally is planning to have a litre "stein" of the local beer!
