Bonn

Hallo!

Last Sunday we went to visit the city Bonn that is located near Köln. We took the tram 16 from Chlodwigplatz and the journey lasted about 40 minutes to Bonn Hauptbahnhof. Even though the journey was a bit long, it went by fast looking at the different view from the window! It was nice that we got to see a another parts of Köln and notice how versatile the city can be.  After 15 minutes sitting in the tram we were already in a totally different landscape, we saw countryside, suburbs and a huge chemical factory or facility..

We arrived to Bonn and the first thing we wanted to do was get something to eat :D:D but still we decided to first look at the sight seeings and save the eating for later. First we found an antique market with lots of people selling nice things. 

After wandering around for a while and looking at all the nice things we came to the Bonn Minster church (Bonn Münster), which was really beautiful. There was also a statue of Beethoven next to the church.

Then we walked to the Bonn Rathaus (city hall). First we almost didn't find it, but then we realized that we had been standing in front of it the whole time......:D:D

The next thing to see was Beethoven's house! We wanted to go and see it, but didn't want to pay the fee to go inside the museum. Still it was nice to check out the house. 

The last thing we wanted to see in Bonn was the University Campus. We had seen pictures of it from our friends who had visited Bonn before, so we also wanted to go there.

Then finally we could go and get something to eat! :D We just walked around and looked for a nice-looking restaurant and actually found one quite fast. It was an Italian restaurant so we both decided to eat pasta! The place was really comfy, the food was amazing and the prices were okay also! Altogether food and drinks for both cost 20 €. Only minus was that the waiter was really rude to Maiju when paying the food. Maiju was trying to pay first with a debit card and then with a credit card and neither of them worked. We think it was because the restaurant was in the basement. But the waiter just blamed and said that "you don't have any money!". Luckily Maiju had cash to pay the food, so we didn't have to stay and do the dishes...:D:D:D

Halloween decorations already!

After eating we took the tram home. We heard during the journey that in Köln Hbf there was a situation going on: A nazi group had gathered there to demonstrate against immigrants and black people. All the trains were late and it was said that it is not safe to go there. We luckily took the tram so we could stay at Barbarossaplatz (no need to go to Hbf). And there you didn't notice anything about the situation :) So we got home safe!

Next post is going to be about Halloween!

Bis später!
