The Pied Piper.

This was the last big day of our tour day :( We left Berlin early, and had a massive day driving to Cologne for the last night's stay.
For lunch, we stopped off at Hameln, Germany (Hamelin in English), the home of the Pied Piper. The town was started in the 8th century, by monks. It had become a full town by the twelfth century, so it's pretty damn old.
During the second world war, it's prison housed social democrats, communists and other political prisoners. Around 200 of them were hanged there.
Mum and I did frantic last minute souvenir shopping here haha.
When we arrived at Cologne/Koln, we didn't get free wifi. So Kendra, Mum and I took the free airport transfer to the airport and just sat there for a few hours!

More flooding in Germany
