This day was a mix of spontaneity, mishaps, and unexpected charm. I started by revisiting Cologne’s Melatenfriedhof cemetery, finally finding the Grim Reaper statue I’d missed before—and discovering a quirky candle vending machine that Caitlin loved. On the road to Düsseldorf, our ever-demanding electric car, Pearl, needed yet another charge, leading to a spontaneous detour to the peaceful Botanischer Garten Düsseldorf. Later, we explored the quirky Tiger & Turtle Magic Mountain after accidentally following some locals through the woods (don’t worry, it ended well!) and stumbled upon the scenic ruins of Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth during another charging stop. We ended the day in luxury at a Hilton near Frankfurt, enjoying a fancy dinner, a round of Barbie Uno, and a bottle of “Pee Wine”—the perfect mix of chaos and comfort.
