To London - 29.8.12


We got up, packed up, and headed to Cologne.  We didn't know that there were lockers for luggage in the train station, so my dad watched our luggage while we looked at the cathedral.  We came out, locked up our luggage, he looked at the cathedral, and we all looked at the cathedral treasury.  There are some really nifty old gold things in there.  We climbed the belfry and listened to the smaller bells there ring once at 2:45, then went to the top.  It was a somewhat nice view of a city I don't know well, but an amazing view of the cathedral.  We got on the train and went to Brussels to transfer through customs.  That's the only place I have ever been asked what I would be doing in a country.  Then we got on a train that took us to some fields in the middle of nowhere in France then suddenly darkness.  England looks noticeably different than the continent.  No orange roofs.  We took the tube to Baker street, got a snack at a shop, and now we're about to sleep in a bed and breakfast.
