Signed up for the chocolate museum stop in Cologne expecting a quick tasting and it turned into a fairly long, crowded queue before we even got inside, cutting into time we had planned for the cathedral instead.
The whole family agreed the Cologne Cathedral was the single most impressive stop of the trip, though by the second week the kids were understandably tired of yet another historic square.
Still thinking about standing in front of the Brandenburg Gate with the kids and trying to explain, in simple enough words, what the wall actually meant. Heavy moment but a good one for them to carry.
Picked this package specifically for the rail travel angle since flying with kids between four cities sounded exhausting, and it turned out to be the easiest part of the whole trip.
We signed up partly for the Cologne Chocolate Museum, expecting a quick tasting, and instead hit a long, crowded queue before we even got inside, eating into time we'd meant to spend at the cathedral.
