5-2 Bremerhaven to Cologne (Betty)

This morning we headed up to Bremerhaven to visit the German emmigration museum. It was amazing. Visitors are given a passport when entering. Then we use the passport throughout the museum to hear about why so many people left Germany and what they went through to get to the US or another destination. it was very fascinating!

 After the museum we hoped into our Opal car rental, lovingly nicknamed Derick Diesel, and headed down to Cologne. We're settled in for the night. Tomorrow we're heading down to Koblenz and the to our hotel in Beilstein. Don't know if we'll have Internet connection down there. So we may drop off the radar fora day or two. No worries ... Plenty of beer and wine in this area!
