We took a free walking tour of Cologne in the afternoon. Getting there we took the long way and walked down the Rhine river. Our tour guide started by explaining the Cologne coat of arms while were at one of the four city gates.
Invest in relics
Well in the 5th century the count of virgins and companions was eleven. However as the market for relics grew the martyred rose to 11,000 and included bones of horses, men, and virtually anything with a skeletal system.
The main event in Cologne is the Dom. Dom is cathedral in German. It’s an impressive church. One of the treasures it contains is the Shrine of the Three Kings. Yeah those guys from the Coat of Arms bones are kept here. In a gold hut of sorts.
