WOW!!!!

After a quick, early morning change of trains in Cologne, Germany, we boarded our final train to Paris, a high speed Thalys. If we were impressed yesterday with first class comfort and free wifi at 130 mph (see the post that shows up just below the "Bergen" post - I can't find a way to move it!) just think how much more impressed we are with our ride on the Thalys system at 180 mph as we start the final leg of our journey back to Paris… Almost everyone onboard was attentive to a computer or Blackberry. Guess that’s what happens when the scenery goes by so fast!

Here's our 5 minute look at the famous Cologne cathedral...

But again, I'm jumping ahead, so let me take you back to Stockholm, our last city stay before heading "home" to Paris...
