Page turner - for your convenience

sorry - I won't get to Cologne this weekend (short notice trip to Istanbul and I won't get back until Saturday evening)

Maybe I'll make it on 3rd October (holiday) or the weekend after that. I hope that's ok for you all.

I'm sure that's plenty of time - nobody's even picked this yet.

Have a great time in Istanbul, and send the Post your pics!

I'll describe the Istanbul pics:
inside of airport
inside of taxi (and maybe a glimpse of my white knuckles)
inside of office
inside of taxi
inside of over decorated (but luxurious) corporate-stylee hotel
inside of over expensive business restaurant
inside of taxi
inside of office
inside of taxi
inside of airport...

yes... feel sorry for me

also: someone pick this, it's great!

I get the white knuckles. I used to live in Greece. I'll bet Constantinopolis has similar taxi drivers.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

aarrghhhh... I will be in Cologne during next week to take the photo.
Will it be in time to be included on the entry when it hits the FP?

but anyway:

Thanks, Sho, I'm sure that's plenty of time.

plenty of time - and thanks for offering to take a photo for us.


congrats on the Entry Dmitri Well done

Photos are done - rewarding myself with a beer* now.

*well, a Kölsch

Koelle alaaf!

oh and I couldn't find a single Kallendresser

Oh, dear. I wonder if it's been taken down? I thought my info was up-to-date.

Doesn't matter if we don't have a picture, though.

the problem I had, even finding the Schmitzsäüle was the complete and utter lack of an address of any kind on the Köln tourist board website. If I knew: go to this house, look up, there it is XX str nr XX it would have been a LOT better

As it was I had to google the Martinskirche and use the google maps navigation thing (which was very good but threw up a whole other niggle)

You're a marvel for finding it. It's been a long time, but as I remember it, those streets are a maze back there.

PR thread read

GB

Y'know I've only just read the thread too, and found meself being blamed for the entry in the opening post.

Ah, there's many a foolish word spoken in haste.



Geggs

Or was that ?

Ah, yes.
