I'm currently sitting in front of the Cologne Cathedral, probably because it reminds me of Brussels. Other than that I've seen nothing so far which I would recommend to other tourists.

THIS is amazing! The Grand Place/Grote Markt in Brussels is my favorite place. And all the little streets around it. Cologne has nothing even close to that, except the Cathedral. And yes, I miss Brussels very much. 😞

I'd love to visit London. As a teenager I wanted to live there, although I'd never been there 😄

Yep, but I don't know how to get to the city center from the airport. And it's also expensive.

Fly to London City Airport and you can take the DLR into the city center! It is really easy. Have done several times.

Or get to Heathrow and get the Elizabeth Line to Tottenham Court Road.

Or get the Luton and take the Shuttle bus to Victoria station. Or get to Gatwick and the airport Express train into the city. Or go to Brussels and take the EuroStar into Saint Pancreas!

If you like this, you should really visit Brugge one day! Best place in Belgium.

Bruges is much nicer than Brussels, but I got eaten alive by mosquitos there.

Perhaps Sparks will be there at a future tour, who knows.

Seeing as how we didn’t get robbed on our way back to the hotel, the final judgement of Cologne is a solid 10/10!
