Day 2 on the road, Tuesday 11 June: An early departure from Hannover saw us on the way to Cologne. First stop for all of us was the Treasury - what wealth, but unfortunately no photos allowed! The Cathedral was vey impressive, with lovely stained glass windows.
Then 13 adventurous ambassadors tackled the spiral staircase to the top of the cathedral tower -a spiral staircase not to be treated lightly!
From Cologne we followed the Rhein to Koblenz, admiring the agility of the locals to cultivate vines on the side of steep hills, and the beautiful villages dotted along the river.
On arrival in Koblenz we undertook a 2 hour walking tour of the Old Town with an excellent guide.
