Christmas Markets

When we were in Cologne last week we of course visited the Christmas markets, I think there are seven in total (I have two favourites, the one at the cathedral and the old town, best food and atmosphere). When we lived there we spent many many evenings every week at one of them, either meeting up with work colleagues, friends or just hubby and me. There are plenty of food, Christmas music, Gluehwine and beer. It is nearly impossible to get a table in any of the (good) restaurants around the city centre so we normally opted to have food at the market. Yummy yum yum!

This year we were a little unlucky, it rained every day (and night!) so it wasn't quite as nice but we still managed to pop down a few times, with the pram day time was definitely the better time to visit and during the weekend there were too many tourists.

                          The cathedral in the background of the market, magnificant!

One of my favorites, very old style, serving German schnaps and Swiss fondue.

We were actually quite disappointed when landed in Sweden and arrived to Gävle. Cologne has so much Christmas to offer, people love socializing over some Gluehwine and there is so much Christmas everywhere.
