Hello Elflings,
Today we are throwing it back, 3 years ago to be exact when I went on a school trip to the Christmas markets in Cologne. I think I was about year 10 then and most of it was spent on a coach, or a ferry and we all came back with fond memories of Bing Bong Barry. The ferry was definitely some experience, was a wee bit rocky in some places but I'd love to go on one again.
Whilst in Cologne we also went to the Lindt factory and got some free chocolate which is always a pleasant experience. I also vaguely remember seeing some big cake things but we weren't trusted that far, us little naive 15 year olds. We also looked around the cathedral which was huge and very beautiful but I think that everyone was actually just kind of happy to be in the warmth, instead of absolutely freezing outside. I promise, it was a good trip! I'd love to go again, to be able to have a leisurely walk around the markets and not be on a strict timetable of "right, we have to be here at this time and then move on in 23 minutes".
I think, one of my favourite memories was finding a cute little gingerbread house, it was actually little that isn't just me saying everything cute is little, and it was about 2 Euros something and it was just amazing. I'll leave a little picture! There was also these raspberry flavoured sweets and they had no text or anything to even say what they were so I have no clue but they were hard boiled and still to this day, I have never tasted a sweet that was better than them. Who knows, maybe when I go again they will be there again so I can stock up.
I really enjoyed exploring the city and I'd love to do it more. Really, I hadn't heard about the Christmas markets before this trip and I definitely think that in the past few years Christmas markets have definitely become more popular in the UK. Christmas markets are such cool places and I definitely recommend going to some, even if you can't get to the German ones or whatever go to a local one. Support local business! There's probably some great food as well so really, it is a winner.
I shall leave you with some photos now...
Until tomorrow,
