Following the Yellow Brick Road From Poznań to a Cologne Brauhaus (Video)

For someone who travels a fair amount, I’m strangely averse to flying, so I decided to take the train from Poland back to Amsterdam (where I was set to fly out from). 

I made a multi-day pitstop in Cologne, Germany, which turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip - with a major driver behind that being the venerated brauhaus ‘Max Stark’ I wore my welcome out on my quest to drink thousands of Kölsch beers.

Luckily, everything went surprisingly smoothly getting over to this 2,000-year-old city on the Rhine River. Here’s a short video documenting that journey. 

Maybe this will make you feel a little bit better about taking the Deutsche Bahn, which doesn’t exactly have the greatest reputation when it comes to reliable and timely transportation.
