Cologne, the place of origine for perfume of the same name, was a stop between Atlanta, Georgia and Singapore. While checking out the destination before the trip, I found out two things of particular interest about Cologne: it has the cathedral with the largest facade in the world (the LARGEST Cathedral honor goes to Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in New York), and the largest whorehouse in Europe. That's an interesting mix, one hell of a integrated resort, if the Singapore government were to plan it. Hmmmm, maybe not.....Where in the USA, the cars reign supreme; over in Germany across the pond, the rail system is an effective alternative to its autobahns.
The ICE, or Intercity Express is the flagship of the German national railway, Deutsche Bahn. It is fast and it was a cool idea to take a trip on one across the white landscape of Germany in winter, from Frankfurt Airport to Cologne.
