The chocolate museum in Cologne is worth visiting.

Welcome to the chocolate Museum Cologne! - The Chocolate Museum - Cologne, Germany

And over the road is the Senf (Mustard) Museum which is also worth a visit: Historische Senfmühlen | Anno 1810 Cochem & Köln

If you want to drink beer then this is where I tend to go: Päffgen Kölsch / Home (owned by Nico from the Velvet Underground parents) or https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%BCh_em_Veedel and a good selection of Vodkas here: https://www.facebook.com/Roter-Platz...83987255010145

No, that is 11:00 a.m. GMT. And it's two minutes.

And slowly the great poppy wearing debate rears it's head again, great trolling of Wetherspoons: Wetherspoons pubs speak out about THAT poppy ban tweet - Birmingham Mail

It's the traditonal start of the Carnival season in the rest of the world, all local Carnival committees elect their new Prince who will reign until the season finishes when Lent starts

BTW 11:11 in real Europe is 10:11 in the UK

The main action though starts early in the new year: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnev...t_und_Fasching

Karneval doesn't start until 11/11 at 11:11 and Köln will be one big party town that day...

Go to Siegburg and the Siebengebirge

Karneval doesn't start until 11/11 at 11:11 and Köln will be one big party town that day. Bonn itself can be quite boring but the Altstadt is not too bad with some good bars and places to eat. If you want to go into Bonn, then you could go to the Haribo factory shop in Bad Godesberg and stock up on sweets. Next to Bad Honnef is Königswinter which has some great places to drink wine and eat but there is also a very large SeaLife center but there is also Drachenfels which is quite picturesque and get the cable car up to it. You might also be able to still get a boat trip up the Rhein to Köln from Königswinter too

60 km along the Rhine

There is nothing else around Bonn apart from Cologne.

It is about an hours drive.

Sounds like a lovely way to while away a November Saturday afternoon - Thanks.

Looks nice, but around 90K's from the airport?
