Farewell Koln

Headed out for breakfast, went to the older part of Kol. We walked past a courtyard area and found a series of guards keeping people away from the building - we thought there must have been some visiting dignitary that they were guarding - but we were told that the courtyard is actually the roof of a concert chamber and when the orchestra is having a concert - if you walk in the courtyard the sound can be heard in the concert hall......so they stand guard to keep people away.

We found a lovely little restaurant where we had a traditional breakfast of eggs, cheese and meat slices and bread rolls.

Warwick & Karen headed back to Leiden and Andrew and I decided to have a look around the Cathedral, incredibly high building with magnificent stained glass windows - I'll never understand why they needed to make these buildings so big - absolutely overwhelming looking up to the roof.
