11/12/2017 A trip to Rothenberg and it’s Christmas Market

Wednesday, December 13th, 2017

Iren and I (along with Margaret with Roger) took a coach from the hotel to Rothenberg and it’s Christmas market

Once dropped off at the coach park we walked into the old town through the wall

We headed for a cafe and had a coffee and cake

Then we went to a couple of markets before finding a bar for a goulash and a drink

After this we went round the shops (obviously raiding the Gluhwein on the way)

We then grabbed another coffee and cake before returning to the coach, the last to return but not late 🙂

10/12/2017 A wander round Regensburg Christmas Markets

Wednesday, December 13th, 2017

Yep, we went out for another Christmas market, this time with another couple on the holiday (Margaret and Roger)

We walked from the railway station (we had taken a train from our hotel in Nuremberg) to grab a coffee

Today was bitterly cold, and we felt it)

We left the bar we had coffee in and walked to the first market

Once we had looked round that and grabbed a Gluhwein (hmmm this is a new habit)

We then headed for yet another market and Gluhwein 🙂

Finally we went to the big market at Thurn and Taxi by the castle

This was a big market where Gluhwein was taken (well we had to keep warm didn’t we)

We also ate some hot dogs and I had to brave and eat some knacker Semmel (Sausage in a bun with HorseRadish, Mustard and Pickle)

We could tell it was cold I was shivering – that’s rarer than a honest, careing politician

We then headed for the station and a hot coffee. As we sat down to drink our coffee it started snowing 🙂

Finally when the rest of the group arrived we headed for the platform and our train
