The Semi Final of the World Cup was in Dortmund, Germany. Dortmund is in the German State of Nordrhein-Westfalen. We took the train from Cologne, Germany to Dortmund. Trains in Germany go very fast, at least the ICE trains do. They can travel up to 200 Kilometers per hour. There are older trains too, which are also nice, but they don't go as fast. When you use the potty in the old trains you can see the train tracks through a hole. After Dortmund we took the train to Berlin but we were sad because the Germans lost the soccer game. We had bought a German rail pass so we decided to go anyway because it was free with the German rail pass.
