Day 9 - Europe 2013

We left Spa Belgium and visited the Henri Chapelle  American Cemetery and Memorial. The Cemetery is beautiful and I walked end to end. The views of the surrounding villages were also breathtaking. Raj and I followed a 'quiz' provided in the information area and found the graves of the Tester brothers; three brothers killed in WWII and immortalized in the movie Saving Private Ryan.

 

We then traveled to Cologne to see the Cathedral.

We had lunch then a quick walking tour of Cologne. We then took in the shopping district. Tonight we have some interesting change in plans related to our travel connections and will be traveling to Berlin with an a.m. arrival.

Due to significant flooding throughout Europe our train was diverted and had to travel very slow at times. We did not get in to our hotel until approaching 1:00 a.m.
