Rondorf

So where do we live?  Rondorf is a smallish village/suburb outside Cologne. See, in Sweden it is big enough to be called a small town. Here, it feels more like a village, though officially it is still part of Cologne. If you look on Wiki, you can see that approx. 10 000 people live here.

In true German style, we have 5 bakeries. There are also two chemists, three supermarkets, a couple of hair dressers, a tiny post office located inside a news agent´s and a couple of flower shops. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to IKEA and 15 to drive to Cologne. Not bad for such a small place, huh?

Typically, in a true German village, shops close for lunch. This means, between 12-3 chemists, news agents and other smaller shops are close. Doh! BUT as of 2014 one chemist has decided to stay open all day, trust me, this is news! I wonder how long it will take for the other one to stay open all day, too.
