We sang two selections
on the KLM 747 flight as
the plane declined in alti
tude. We arrived at Am
sterdam’s Schiphol Air
port and were met by the
Emhage Tour agents. Af
ter claiming our luggage,
we boarded the bus and
started for Arnhem. We
had lunch in Arnhem at
a beautiful restaurant. We
have a lovely scene from
the second floor. The long
trip from Arnhem to Col
ogne, West Germany was
enlightened with country
scenes and beautiful land
scapes depicting the
country homes and the
churches. The freshly
plowed country fields
were also inspiring. We
stopped at the border so
that we might change our
travelers checks into
German marcs. We en
tered the city of Cologne
in late afternoon. Co
logne, formerly a Roman
city is now one of Ger
many’s busiest and mod
ern cities. The city is
highly industralized. I
was shocked to see the
Mercedes - Benz being
used as a taxi because in
America this car is very
expensive costing a-
round $10,000.
Cologne has a popula
tion of approximately 850,
000 inhabitants; The
Bambert Cathedral,built
in 1248 and completed in
1830 is one of the more
outstanding sites in Co
logne. The C athedr al
rises some 400 feet in
the air. Another very in
teresting point about the
Mercedes - Benz. The
car is named after Mr.
Benz, the producer. Mr.
Benz called his car Mer
cedes the name of his
daughter.
We arrived at Hotel
Salm at 5:10 p.m. During
our stay here we met
some brothers from Af-
Ica studying in Cologne,
fhat night we went out
on the town to a club that
eatured African sisters
ind brothers, it was very
dee.
The next morning we
lad our first breakfast,
lard rolls, butter, jam
ind tea or coffee.We left
mmediately after break-
ast for a drive to Breith-
Jieid, West Germany. We
Jtopped for a tour of the
4inidomm - a miniature
irea consisting of all the
Jerman castles, cathed-
Ve continued from here
o Wuppertal. In Wupper-
al we had lunch and af-
er lunch we were free to
JO shopping for souve
nirs. After two or three
tiours of shopping we re
turned to the bus to con
tinue on to Essen, West
Germany for the concert.
