It’s good to be back to the land of meat, potatoes and BEER! There are no bad beers in Germany, and looking forward to more affordable food than london.

The stop in Cologne (Köln) is to visit a friend I met while in Sofia, and also its the closest metropolitan near Nurburgring. As I will be renting a car to get there, lesson learn last time from frankfurt, being only 80kms away is a good thing.

While in Koln, I been reminded how honest the Germans are. While I was dinning at a local beer garden, I notice that the patrons are entrusted to pay.

Your beer tab is simply marked on the beer paper coaster.

You can be sitting at one of the tables, or just standing outside the restaurant with beer in hand. The waiter will non stop refilling you with Kolsh (punounce courage) with their beer tray.

Without asking, you are expected to be drinking their local beer. But no matter what, Germans will always pay their tap.
