A boring Saturday

2004-10-09 | Cologne, Germany

I didn't do a whole lot today. I woke up and spoke with a Canadian girl that was in my hostel. She is traveling the world solo for over a year! I have met many people that are doing this and it is pretty cool. I was surprised that she had enough money saved to do it. She has been all throughout Asia and Europe. I did mistake her for an American because of her accent.

I slept in probably because I am getting a little sick. I am just getting a little cold. But I took my vitamins (Barb) and some of the cold medicine to help fight it early.

I am bound to get a little sniffle here on my trip because I am coming in contact with so many germs, I am not sleeping a ton, I am eating all the local food and much more. Oh well, I will be fine. I am insured so if it gets bad I will go to the doctor.

I mostly hung around the hostel chit chatting because I was seeing if I could get another night here. The hostel was booked which didn't matter (Cologne is kind of boring beside the Dom.) I really enjoy how close it is to me. The Balisque fascinates me.

Today I got this idea in my head to go to Denmark. I really want to see how a left wing community lives. In Denmark, people pay a lot of taxes, but it is a country where it focuses on people rather than big business like the US. It might be a little cold there, but not too bad. I might even venture into Sweden since it is so close. After this I am planning on going to Berlin for 2 nights, Prague and then Austria or Switzerland and finally Italy. Copenhagen should be very interesting though. I am really excited to see Scandinavia and some of Eastern Europe, because it is totally different than in some of the typical European cities.

Today I walked up the Dom tower for 1 Euro and got to see a pretty decent view. There were so many people walking up it (over 500 stairs), that it kind of was difficult going up. I really didn't get as tired as some of the out of shape tourists breathing heavy. The one thing that was gross about it was that there was a lot of defacing all the way up and on top of the tower. People are dumb sometimes.

Tonight the only available couchette was smoking, so it should be interesting. But I thought that maybe all these people wont really smoke in bed much and if they do in my room I will ask them if they can smoke outside.

Today I finished the autobiography of William Wallace, which was good. I left the book at the hostel. I have been giving books away and or leaving them, to help save weight. A lot of people just get rid of books in the hostels. Its kind of a trading system.... pretty cool. Talk to you goys when I am in Denmark!
