    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

    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

    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.
