Chocolate > Sleep

Our first stop on our European adventure was Koln - aka Cologne. We arrived a few days before our official Rick Steve's tour began so that we could adjust to the time difference and explore Germany on our own for a few days.

Even though we were really jet-lagged, we dragged each other away from the comfortable beds in our hotel to wander around the city. Of course, even on day one, we had an itinerary. Our main destination - the chocolate factory (and Hard Rock).

I never knew Germany was famous for it's chocolate...until we walked up to the Lindt Chocolate museum. I love Lindt so it was fun to tour the factory. We whizzed through the history portion of the museum (how they make chocolate..blah blah blah) and went for the chocolate machines, chocolate molds, and chocolate fountain!!

If this wasn't at the beginning of our tour, I would have definitely picked some up to take home.

 

We did pick up one souvenir.... Chocolate Beer! (I had to do it). It was tasty and it reminded me of a good porter.
