I've passed through Koeln (Cologne) yesterday, on my way home. I had a look at the HUGE cathedral and at the many japanese tourists over there.

Suddently I realized that, since Cologne held that "international youth day", I was probably in the best place possible for our ongoing Horrible Postcards Competition ! so I looked around and the one you see here was the selected one... But the pope was really all over.

Other exciting events of the day included being stopped and asked for documents on the highway by the german police (mm, lone guy, rented car, border with holland... no surprise) and having to spend the same amount of time to fly from germany to Torino, and to get home from the other side of town by tram. (1h 10min) :(
