five o'clock
In Italy and Sicily there are many such exhibitions of the dead . '' Below Bonn the banks of the river are level , or gently undulating , reminding the traveller of the Delaware above Philadelphia . The scenery is pleasant , but rather tame after the experience of the Drachenfels . At five o'clock the steamer reached Cologne , and passing under the great iron bridge , and through the bridge of boats , made her landing at the quay . The Grand Hotel Royal , in which accommodations had been engaged for the tourists , is situated on the bank of the river , and many of the party had rooms which overlooked the noble stream . There is no pleasanter occupation for a tired person than that of sitting at one of these windows , watching the flow of the river , and the variety of scenes which its surface presents . It was a lively scene at the hotel in the evening .
