We were so tired from yesterday that we slept in till
8:30am. We went back to the same coffee
shop from yesterday and had our bread and coffee. I really must let up on the bread. Here in Germany there is a different idea
about what breakfast is as opposed to what we are used to. No pancakes, bacon, eggs, or biscuits here
! The typical breakfast is a roll with
salami and cheese and a cup of coffee. After
breakfast, we went to “old-town” and did a bit of shopping. While we were there we noticed a bunch of
people in the street who were protesting low wages at H & M. We didn’t want to cross the line so we did
not go in. Before too long it was time
to take the train back to Koln. We
arrived without a problem and Michel picked us up at the station. They were going to a fundraiser “Barn Party”
and invited us to go with their friends.
Of course we said yes! There we
tried a typical German snack of what I call German Pancakes / Potato
Pancakes. They are served with apple
sauce and tasted great. Interesting to
note that we went there on our bicycles.
Again, here in Germany cars are used, but not as much as bicycles. Next week we’re going to Belgium. Of course we are expecting to have “Belgium
Waffles”, but we don’t know if they will be a breakfast item or a desert item !
