Today we are off to Aachen a vibrant
regional centre that sometimes belonged to France and then back to
Germany. The cathedral dates back to 800 AD, one of the most unusual yet distinctive styles that I have seen.
The most significant and important character of this region was Karl Charlemagne born in 748 AD and died In 814 AD.Karl was a ruler of the kingdom which stretched from present day western France to Hessen.

| The Big Chair |
The throne for all the German kings is located here. Karl was not only an emperor but later made a saint. Interesting! Travelled on the Autobahn Erik sitting on 160klm just a small VW yet some cars are flying past. Theo says 130klm is good for speed and economy.
