Trip to Cologne

Over the next few days, we went to Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), then to a planetarium, a museum explaining about how Romans lived in Cologne, we all had ice cream, then went to a chocolate factory, went to Beethoven’s House, had a riverboat tour down the Rhine and went to a mathematics museum and (finally!) the Haribo shop in Bonn. We got so much Haribo that some of us only finished it this week! I also loved learning about space in the planetarium and the history of maths in the Arithmeum, and about Beethoven’s life and family in his house that had been turned into a museum. The riverboat tour and Cologne Cathedral were both amazing, especially the awe-inducing Gothic architecture of the cathedral, and the views down the Rhine, although it did start raining halfway through. I loved going to Cologne and learning about German culture, maths and science!
