Yesterday, Saturday, we had our first organised excursion with the summercourse. We have to arrive at the FH and wait for a bus to come to drive us to Cologne, which takes somewhere around an hour. When we arrived there, we were presented with two options: we could either decide to climb to the top of the Koelner Dom (Cologne's giant catherderale) or we could go to the Schokolade Museum, as there was not enough time to do both activities.Naturally, I chose to go to the chocolate museum.
It was quite interesting and had all the usual
information about how chocolate is made, where it comes from, a history of chocolate making. No free smaples though, apart from a small square when you enter, and some melted chocoalte on a wafer. I took quite a few pictures here, until I had ran my battery out!After we leaft the museum I wandered around outside where they had a small market like thing, and so I bought and ate some tarte flambee/flammenkueche and also had a crepe, although it wasn't very nice.
After a short bus ride we arrived in Bonn. We didn't see much/any of the city, but we went to the Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. This is a huge museum all about the history of Germany from 1945 to present day. We had a guided tour (in German of course) and we wore little headsets. I thought it would be a bit boring, but it turned out to be quite interesting so I am glad.
I will upload some pictures to this entry later on after I have charged my camera a bit to get them onto my computer!

Haha I've been to that chocolate museum! Many a year ago :) Never been to Bonn though, I don't know too much about it other than it was the seat of government for West Germany...
