Aachen, Germany impressed a Köln, Bonn, Mainz

First weekend morning, decided to travel, to get up early, studied the lines, decided to go to Aachen (Aachen), therefore, to the railway station.

Germany's Metro line is very well developed and very timely. Local people are very friendly, the first auto buy tickets will not be a woman active help, although it does not understand English, but still. Metro no one checked, all rely on consciousness, and subsequent train especially ICE tickets are very strict, seems especially for non-Western populations.

Germany train station ticket vending machines can be very detailed view circuit arrangements and time, departure platform information, etc., very user-friendly, all the information you can print for your own reference.

A road train travel on this, and the trains are simply not to worry about time and also without any design line, the computer automatically help you design better.

In the station's service points activated domestic ticket purchased in advance, Germany proved to be very worthwhile, 241 euro can be used anywhere within a month, 6 days 40 euro per day, in fact 40 Europe may only reach a one-way ticket from Stuttgart-Frankfurt.

My first weekend train costs are estimated to reach 150 ~ 200 euro, because I was making a comparison of high efficiency.

The railway station to the toilet is required fees, some pipe, but also very strict.

Stuttgart is 0.5 Europe, then came to Dusseldorf 0.7 Europe, it is said that the European needs 1.2 Hamberg, real luxury!

Back to Aachen, according to the instructions of the Lonely planet maps – implementation prove this global travel Bible is infinite, detailed and accurate information, no superfluous words, attractions and related history and culture as well as the author very simple travel itinerary harvesting set itself provides a very very very helpful--and walk about 10 minutes to reach the Cathedral, the first time saw Germany famous church, feel very awesome, Baroque, Gothic or Locke to, architectural styles, deep impact on me from the Orient.

Aachen Cathedral of camera requires extra pay 2 Europe, the introduction of Chinese, require 0.5 Europe, consciously pays, no one checks, the quality of people in developed countries of Europe are still very high.

Church of various artistic value and I don't know, just look at lonely planet's introduction to watch, if you understand German or understanding of Western civilization, it was very worthy of taste.

The Church also has a Museum, need tickets, ESA 2.5 Similarly, only the German, the collection of things, but it seems a long historical comparison, if you know the history of Germany, or is the point, many of the people of Germany.

Church have latrines, relatively inexpensive 0.3 Europe once, see toilet woman side money aside savoury ate bread!

Then follow the crowd to go to the Town Hall Square (Germany almost all cities there are the Town Hall square to the venue), the surrounding full of open cafes, Western restaurant, dessert shop, etc.

The shop is closed on weekends, so people very leisurely sunbathing, drink a coffee or beer, chatting, trance!

I'm in a hurry of the passer, then go back to the train station, decided to go to Dusseldorf, the train is still early to find the time, you should go to Koln see famous cathedral, on the edge of the railway station and Dusseldorf is famous for night bar.

So going back to see the famous Cologne Cathedral.

She gave me the experience of the shock is far more than the Aachen Cathedral, magnificent Gothic architecture, stunning God fans! cant wait came into the Church, and that a solemn, sacrosanct!

From there on Church 6pm 20 minutes, quickly paid 2.5 Europe ticket climbed 500 order continuous rotating staircase reached the highest point of the Church Interior and surveyed the Rhine River and the distance of the town, feeling mellow Koln, fatigue-free meal!

Unfortunately it only reached the peak, Miss Peter Bell's visit (in the half-way) and down-time is over, sorry! top tourist office spread to the whole stairs, walls everywhere filled with a guestbook, accidentally discovered a "Tibet is China's territory", filmed, feel that the message of the renxiong very interesting.

Back to the lobby, just start a ceremony, an internal exception is touchy faithful visitors, and regret, but in perched, ears keep hearing seems to have been repeating the priest's hypnotic-words.

Out of a ring around the Pocket, bought a pair of plastic white shoes, work to wear (5 euro).

Maybe the weekend, there are a lot of tourists to Westerners.

Many wore a variety of the same series of young people very excited clothing, probably from certain groups. The square to a popular concert was held, in such a magnificent classical concert held in the Cathedral should be looking forward to it. Today, 9 August at the Nagasaki Atomic bomb attacks NOK stem years commemoration of personnel for peace, showcased some of the photos, some similar in Hong Kong Garden Street see support Falun Gong activities.

At the railway station of smoked a cigarette, and take a bus to arrive in the city of Dusseldorf, has 8 point du, but Western Europe Sun late until 9 o'clock after darkening.

According to lonely planet's first introduced to find a cheap hotel, unfortunately full – because the Internet is not easy, so there is no way intended – and then decided to go to the old town of mid-range hotels.

There is near the night market.

Looking for the process actually go wrong, go back to the station, Halo! courage – this time tired and hungry – turn to continue.

Things, be a blessing in disguise, I buy my way into the calling card, call internally as long as 5 euro a piece of the minutes, cost-efficient.

Finally go to is located in the downtown area of Altstadthotel St George Hotel, downstairs is similar

New world lively bar street, but the whole hotel is surprisingly quiet. As lonely planet introduction of 65 euro a separate toilet for single room, very clean, put the package immediately wash the comb, went to eat.

Go to Les due to the River, watching the magic Lakeview, drink the famous local black beer (2.6euro/0.3L, 4.2euro/0.5L), eat a super big barbecue rib (9.8euro), all the way to go, the entire Aeolian one word "Jello"!

Evening wind, more cold, eating on the back.

Return after a very lively bar street (Dusseldorf's bar street is said to be the world's largest), almost do not see the yellow and black, Europeans seem to be very exciting, but I lived alone, but felt that a more boring, if friends together, it's high.

Go back to sleep early.

Get up at 8 am, we learned that the Olympic Games will be the first day was 2 gold medals.

Then downstairs to eat breakfast, very delicate choice-style food, in the European taxpayer expensive Strawberry (eat a lot, Stuttgart to 5 euro pound?), there are all kinds of fruit juice, because today to travel, so we ate very satisfied and would like to save lunch – facts and proved to be wrong, eat more to noon and hungry-and then take the subway to the station.

At breakfast time decided to go to Bonn.

Approximately one hour to the provisional capital of West Germany, Bonn, before the rain, the city seems to be very small, surprisingly quiet Sunday morning.

In the Cathedral's square tree at the town's most famous residents – the statue of Beethoven.

Then walk about 5 minutes to the Museum, 5 euro Beethonven tickets are worth a visit, content-rich, and a large number of physical (including hearing loss and hearing aids and death after the plaster surface mold).

The entire House is Beethoven's birth and to Vienna to study before the former, downstairs you can listen to on the computer all of his music, basement there are 3D animation (time not seen).

Went to Bonn, the famous Museum area, approximately 20 minutes walk to reach, in the suburbs.

To see a natural history museum (Museum Koenig), is for local children. And then went to the famous German Historical Museum, the scale is small, exhibits a very rich, but all are German, if you are interested in the history of Germany, it's very valuable again. Visit the people besides me are the whites, many people especially for Museum staff are surprised of staring at me as if I went to the local community. Although the vast majority of people, stories, video, background, and so I do not understand, but scanning a ring or feel them on the Museum's design is a scow, feeling experienced a growth of Western Germany after World War II history. Ya this line!

Take the subway went to Bonn Hbf, buy a burger and beer, a train to Mainz, arrival is 3 pm.

Visit the famous cathedral, the art of carving inside amazing, I feel very exquisite, unique, laments of the ancients have completely in Europe in the art of our ancestors.

Which tastes only saw there's treasure in order to understand.

Mainz Cathedral also has its own Museum, 3.5 Europe tickets, not understanding the Bible story should nothing can look at it, is the cross.

There are cultural relics, vivid, and workmanship.

'Ve always wanted to go to the Church behind the Gutenberg Museum, because he is the result of the lithography, has a sacred 42 line Bible is the most famous resident of Mainz, but the Museum Sunday 3 pm to close classes, and regret.
