Inside the Bunker

Here are some photos of the inside of the bunker. There was only enough supplies to let them live there for 30 nights. After that - it was back out into the world - contaminated or not.

Each bedroom had 4 beds.

Miles of endless tunnels.  During the war these would have been like the ones that we walked through.

All Bunkers need dentists! Ouch!

And a doctors room. There was even a box for amputation on one of the cupboards.... :-(

Bunker for the Best

On Thursday we took a bus to the bottom of a big hill and walked up it.

We walked to a Bunker where the chosen people (important in the government) would have gone if there had been a nuclear bomb. They would have had minutes to get away from the deadly gases. It was pretty cold inside. Miles and miles of tunnels built under ground to keep the people safe for 31 days. After that - it was time to go back out.

A whale of a boat

On Wednesday we caught a train to catch a boat. It was shaped like a whale and called Moby Dick. Kelly, Lili and I got great seats near the mouth. It was too hot to go on the top of the boat, so we stayed inside most of the time. We got off the boat at Bonn.

Have a break, have a ...

It's a shame there aren't more of these around town.

Chocolate and more Chocolate!

After the Cathedral we walked to the Chocolate museum. I'd already been there, but it was interesting to find out about some of the stuff I hadn't been bothered to read about.

While everyone was busy looking down, I was looking up! This machine is the one they use to mix the chocolate.

The Lindt Chocolate Museum is on an island (in a river) connected to the mainland by a bridge. 

Koln Cathedral

After the zoo we went to the Cathedral of Koln. It was pretty big! There were lovely mosaics on the floor and Adelina was thrilled to get to walk around the beautiful church.

Kolner Zoo

I didn't take too many photos at the zoo. It was basiclly like all the other ones. Guess what!?

There were animals in it!!!

Too cote to resist taking a photo
