Köln/Cologne

It's been a while since the last time I wrote.I have started watching all seasons of Glee again,and that explains why I haven't written posts here as much as I wanted :P

Still the story of our new year's travel.After Hamburg,we went down to Köln/Cologne,another of my favourite German city.It was my second time there and being there brought back some memory when I was there a couple of years ago visiting my then boyfriend(my husband now :) ).

And this time,we went up of one observatory building overlooking the city.Köln is famous of its tallest Gothic church in the world and for my husband,it's like his "sacred" city,because he's a big fan of FC Cologne.

Well,till then ppl.

Kölner Dom,the highest gothic church in the world

 

Happy to be in the FC Köln gallery

The colorful small houses by the Rhein river

Love locks bridge everywhere

There's Kölner Dome from the observatory tower

Winter Wonderland

I really love winter this year.If it is a cold and gloomy kind of winter,it's not really my cup of tea,but white winter would do good :)

Last weekend,we went for a long walk to the center from our house through the forest.It took us around 1 hour and half instead of only 20 minutes by car.We stopped for a breakfast on our way to the city center and came home by train.Crazy :P

After coming back home,my right knee hurt so badly probably resulting from stepping down the many stairs at one point which probably equals to 10 levels of a building haha.

But it was total fun.Looking forward to walking long and crazy like this again some day.

Till then.

 We decided to babywear Alayna that day as the roads in the forest are too narrow for a stroller

 The journey began

 Was a tad bit too late to capture the picture of the DHL van,it sure gave a bit of color to the picture :P

Hamburg on NYE

Towards the end of  December last year we went travelling to several cities up in the north of Germany.

We went to Hannover as our stop over before we drove further to Hamburg,a port city famous in Europe.It was my first time there and we even met a friend that I got to knew from instagram :)

It was a nice catch-up with each other as she also has a small baby few weeks older than Alayna.

It was always a nice ting to see how babies react with each other.

So,enjoy the pictures.

Till then.

Speicherstrasse,the bricks buildings here were used as warehouse in old ages,nowadays were converted to apartments,houses and etc
