Arriving at Cologne |
I'll blame the lack of clarity on the rain. Yeah, that's it. |
Wow! My camera takes impressionist photographs! |
My usual hummingbird's breakfast |
All these buildings are reconstructions. The originals were destroyed in the bombings |
Sorry...don't know what this is, but I thought it was kind of nice. |
Theyre building a new subway line through this area. The square is usually busy, but with the weather.... |
The Cologne cathedral. I don't know if it survived the war or was rebuilt. |
The Dom (Cathedral) Hotel, facing the side of the cathedral |
Impossible to get the whole cathedral front in one photo |
Towers are 500 feet tall |
Copy of the filials at the top of each spire |
Interior of Cologne Cathedral |
Walking back to the ship |
Crew taking on bottled water, wine |
Lunch |
Preparing to leave dock for repair facility. Viking has a permanent gangway |
Pulling away. Cathedral towers right of center |
Turning around mid-river. Not so much a turn as a pivot due to ship's length |
Passing Viking gangway from opposite direction, heading for repair facility |
Pivoting to enter channel to facility |
Broadside to river halfway through pivot. Cathedral towers left side |
Entering repair facility |
And it's still raining |
