Köln - Bonn - Luxembourg

Coming to Köln was not what we had in mind to start off with, but after studying the map it seemed quite obvious to go just south from Kiel and to stop by in Köln-Dellbrück.
Coming to Chris and Til’s house in Köln is already almost like coming home and I’m very happy to see them. They are delighted to see Liam walk and Til gives him a tour around their garden before we go out for dinner.
We want to take it easy the next day and not drive too far, so I call my friend Cornelia in Bonn to see whether they have time to see us. They have a birthday to celebrate in the afternoon, but seem very happy to welcome us anyway.
After we arrive in the late morning, Cornelia and I set off for a quick shop in my favourite drugstore and Richard, her husband Roland and the children go for a walk by the Rhein.
In the afternoon, we are visiting the ‚Haus der Geschichte’ (House of History), a museum which tells the history of Germany since World War II. Its really interesting and well made and even Liam had fun walking around there.
After a nice and yummy breakfast with the whole family, we set off to find our way through the Eifel to Luxembourg. First we get a bit lost in Bonn trying to find another gas bottle and matching adapters to make sure our gas supply isn’t running out anytime soon. But eventually we get everything we need, find our way and arrive on our first campsite near Luxembourg City.
