Germany, Departure w/pictures

I left the hotel early to make a morning flight.  It was well before breakfast and no one was at reception.  At DUS, we are bussed onto tarmac to board the short flight between here and CPH.  

Germany, Day 5 - Last full day w/pictures

Dus bookends the trip as no other city had any markets that would open before my departure the next day.  I spent the time strolling around the Old Town area that I stayed in

Germany, Day 4 - Cologne(Koln) Chocolate museum/Harbour market w/pictures

 One attraction that I knew about in Cologne, aside from the Christmas markets, was the Chocolate museum.  Coincidentally, the Harbour market is located adjacent to it and theres the ferris wheel

Germany, Day 3 - Oberhausen(?)/Essen w/pictures

 I still had time on the 2 24 hr passes from the previous day.  Since Ober is on the way to Essen, I decided to stop in to get some spatzle.  Its a german noodle dish and I was not sure it would be available at other locations.  Took me a while to find the place.
