Köln - Day 9

On day nine we decided to switch things up and take a spontaneous day trip to Aachen. The highlight was standing in three countries—Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands—all at once! After snapping some fun border photos, we grabbed a light lunch and a beer before heading back. Along the way, we spotted the cutest little Amazon delivery car and couldn’t resist stopping for some Spaghetti Eis (because it’s a must in Germany!). Back in Köln, we visited the stunning Kölner Dom, where Caitlin lit a candle for her dad and we admired the Shrine of the Three Kings. We ended the evening perfectly—with a cozy bowl of Gulasch and the discovery that, in true German fashion, beer is cheaper than water.
