Preperations of the Christmas Markets are underway and the Towns Christmas Tree was erected last week - The Market Opens on November 30th.

For anyone who is interested, Rothenburg ODT is one of Germainies oldest Cities and has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. In fact the City is so proud of its Heritage, that any new Buildings within the Cities Walls, must meet the existing Designs of the Cities Medievel Look !!!

The City lay almost decadent after much of its population was killed by the plague and the City itself is steeped in rich history.

I love a good Christmas market. Never been to one in Germany although my wife used to go over wnen her parents lived in Munich.
Each year we go away in december for our anniversary. Both Tallinn and Krakow had great Christmas markets and we're hoping Riga this year will have one too. Every time we passed though the square we just had to stop for some gluvein. Mmmmmmm.

Have a wonderful trip.

To be honest, it must be well over 10 years ago, and at the time we were still, ahem, caravanning!

Quite envious of you! I miss Germany.

Have a Jaeger Schnitzel for me, washed down with a few Bitburger pilsners!

Nothing wrong with Caravanning......My Parents used to have a Trailer Tent and I used to love Holidaying in that :)

I was based in Germany from Feb 96 to Aug 99.

Every fortnight myself & SWMBO went out for a meal in the local restaurant.
The week between trips to the restaurant we visited the local Imbiss for a take away.

The only thing I ever ordered was Jaeger Schnitzel. Thats some amount I munched my way through!


Just for you Tatts :D
