CHRISTMAS MARKETS 2012


HO!  HO!  HO!  It's off to the Christmas Markets we go!! Thanks to British Aiways miles, we are going on a whirlwind 4 night trip to Germany and Austria, with flights and hotel covered by our miles. We will be staying in Munich, and will take to the train to Nuremberg and Salzburg, including a side trip to Oberndorf where Stille Nacht (Silent Night) was sung for the first time.

What is fun about this trip is that we have been to all of these places before (except for the little town of Oberndorf) so we know our way around, know where we like to eat, etc. We can just focus on the markets at each place, some cities having more than one.

Check our the web cams in Munich and Salzburg (where they are live) and next week watch for me waving and drinking my Gluwein (hot spiced wine) while eating sausages and gingerbread. Photos will be updated and loaded in on what I hope will be a daily basis.

Plans are already made to go to the Hofbrauhaus as soon as possible after the plane lands!!! I want to see the big tree in Marienplatz and then off to the Hofbrauhaus for refreshment!
