Day 1 in Koeln and Emmerich

Today is the 1st day of my crazy Koeln-Holland adventure. I woke up at 7am and started my journey to Koeln - the 4th biggest city in Germany. My netpal N from Aachen picked me up at the Haupt Bahnhof. My O2 loop reception is always bad, I missed a few calls and I sent an SMS, "I'm at Koeln Hbf. About when will you arrive?". Then, I received an SMS, "I'll be there in 5 minutes...". But he received my SMS some 15 min later outside the Dom. :p Typisch Angie am Dom (with wrong buttons LOL) We visited the Dom, a few X'mas markets and the Schokolade Museum. With my before-trip short preparation, I already known the places in Koeln better than N :p. We tried to find the Halven-hahn, but we couldn't. Mein Netpal im Schokolade Museum und Weihnachtsmarkt We talked a bit about his gf, our studies, our budgeted living in Germany... He left at 3pm, and I walked around the city until 5.30pm and took a train to Emmerich. J was there at the tiny Emmerich station to pick me up, with the 3 kisses greetings. With his audio GPS system, he drove me home and had dinner with W. I was soooo glad that I arrived there safely.
