How do you pronounce Lepe? You pronounce Lepe the same way as leap. I wouldn't want you reading … [Read more...] about Lepe Beach on D-Day

It's one of the first things you see when you get to Köln. For me, arriving at night, you could spot it from halfway across the city - perhaps further. Gorgeously back lit, Koeln Cathedral sticks out like a sore thumb, albeit far prettier than a thumb. You might choose to call it the major … [Read more...] about The Behemoth of Cologne

First things first, let me just establish that this is intended to be the first of a series of posts (probably around 4) which detail the trip that Nicola and me recently embarked upon to Cologne.
