CSD Cologne

FINALLY!!! After years of talk, Erik and I managed to visit the CSD in Cologne this year. I mean we know Amsterdam Pride for years and I expected something similar, but it was completely different. Much more political, more stages, more visitors, more food, more program, ... Only one thing I have to get used to: seeing a parade on the water (Amsterdam) is much more relaxing then a parade on the streets (Cologne). Too many people want to be in the first row, when they have the chance on the streets.

We spent the nights on the campground along the river Rhine and of course we met our friends Marcel end Noël from Sittard. (Cologne is closer to them then Amsterdam.)
