Sunday Nov 6 Kolm/Cologne and chocolate, sweet chocolate

Sunday was a great day full of lots of walking and as usual, good food and good company.  In the morning we had a nice long walking tour of Kolm including the archaeological dig on the ancient mitzvah, the first cologne store, the amazing art gallery, the cathedral and a bit of the Roman Museum.  The cathedral we only saw a bit as mass was going on b ut it is truly amazing just from a size standpoint.  The Roman Museum was fabulous but we only got to see a part and were coming back in the afternoon but ran out of time.  They have an incredible mosiac that would put any naysayer to shame who says the romans were not amazingly talented in their art. 

The afternoon held the Chocolate Museum and we got to see vintage chocolate dispensers, boxes, how chocolate is made and packaged.  Ahh Lindt, you are my friend.  Needless to say the gift shop saw some of our money as they had beautiful little tin boxes and some flavours that I had not imagined in combination.

In the evening, we were treated to yet another amazing meal.  They offer a vegetarian option each night and two main entree selections.  To give you an idea, last night's dinner for me was Feta and Tomato Salad, Roasted Eggplant & Garlic Soup, Broiled Salmon with White Mean Paste and Tomato, Apple Strudel with Vanilla sauce and a cheese plate.  Each day I pray my pants will do up.
