Nuremburg Christmas Market

Nuremburg City Walls

Frankfurt Christmas Market

Ruins, Bonar Bridge

So I have finished in Scotland for the moment, and have arrived in Germany. Made it up to Inverness before leaving, and visited the ruins of where some relatives came from. I then headed back to Forfar, where I went to a wedding (Darrens brother), and then after a day of relaxing, caught a flight across to Germany.

Unfortunately it is just a quick visit to Germany, landed in Frankfurt, and am now in Nuremburg, leaving tomorrow to head to Munich.

It has been warmer here than it was back in Scotland, but still quite cold, no thermals, just jacket, gloves, scarf and hat!!! Wasnt hugely fond of Frankfurt, it was basically destroyed during the war, so not many old building survive, but they did have a lovely Christmas market.

Nuremburg is lovely, have spent the last couple of days wandering the old city, walked the entire lenght of the city walls, been to a few museums, and have thoroughly explored the (world renowned) Christmas Market, even managed to find the red light district by mistake (and beat a hasty retreat out of it).

I have fallen in love with Christmas markets, so many differnt foods to try, lights, decorations. Have been trying the different foods from the areas, potato cakes in Frankfurt, hot fruit punch, Gluckwein (yes it was disgusting but it had to be tried), gingerbread, lebkucklein (kind of like gingerbread).
