It's so picturesque in Amsterdam. There are so many bikes locked everywhere!

Side trip to The Hague. They have a bull like the one on Wall Street in the Financial District.

The Cologne Cathedral. It's the very first thing we saw in the dark as we left the train station. Incredible!

The spiral steps going up to the top of the Cathedral don't exactly work for my big feet!

View from across the Rhein River after we stopped at the Hyatt to use their bathroom. That bridge is covered with thousands of love locks - padlocks that people have attached and thrown the key into the river below.

My favorite meal when we were in Germany - Weinerschnitzel. It's a flattened piece of pork that's breaded and pan fried.

Since my wife was already in London for work, I met her and the kids in Amsterdam and we had a week of fun!

It's weird to travel internationally by myself. For one thing, I've got nobody familiar to lean on when I fall asleep on the plane. Unfortunately I never really did fall asleep which made for a very long first day in Amsterdam. We saw so much though including the flower market, the canals, we took a canal tour and went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. We also headed down to The Hague one day where we rented bikes.

Stop #2 was Cologne, Germany. The highlight was probably climbing to the top of the Cologne Cathedral. 500 and some steps later we nailed it. The food was amazing there as were the views along the Rhein River.
