From Luxembourg we headed to Germany. In specific we went to Köln because we heard it had a pretty impressive church. We did go there and it was impressive but now we are a bit spoiled and we stood in the Dom and said 'Sagrada Familia was better'. We ended up staying the night in Köln in this weird hostel by the Rhein. The hostel was a set of apartments above a pub (reception) which were filled with beds in the lounge area. We met an odd Canadian who kept trying to fill our heads with facts about Canada. Craig wants to verify all of these because he is sure that some aren't true. Craig and I wandered around the city that night and onto a bridge which looked over the Rhein to the Dom, it was pretty amazing.

From Köln we headed north to Kiel (the capital of Schleswig Holstein) which is a major shipping centre for Germany and where manners were a little lacking. Not much English here although they do seems to be trying to make this into some sort of tourist centre with new walkways etc. We left here pretty early keen to get on our way to Odense. We didn't really get a huge chance here to fill ourselves with German culture but we will be coming through Germany again later.
