Christmas Adventures Part 1: Erfurt part 3 & Leipzig

The next day we got up and had a last wander through the markets in Erfurt

We got some vegan bratwurst for lunch

And a flammkuchen from the main market. This was good, but not as good as the one we had the night prior

Then it was off to Leipzig for our last stop of the trip. I had always heard that their Christmas market was really nice, but omg it was WAY too crowded (This was the main market and it was a Saturday evening so understandable, but I quickly was like this is too much! You couldn't even walk through or see anything at the stalls cause there were so many people!).

Luckily some of the other market areas were still crowded, but not as bad. We did find a vegan flammkuchen in a not as crowded area - potato and vegan cheese - this was just alright

Overnight we got more snow! This is the balcony where we were staying

Lots of big icicles!

We went back to the market the next morning and it was so much nicer to walk through! WAY less people!

Still busy, but you could actually walk through and see the things

One last fried brussel sprouts

And some Leipzig Larke to take home and try. These were alright - marzipan in pastry, these with chocolate and walnuts.

Leipzig Christmas market was okay. Nothing special though. I wouldn't make a trip just to go there, but Erfurt I would! It was amazing! We will for sure be going back there again as we had a wonderful time there! Their markets were our favorite and it was a really magical start to the Christmas season!

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...

Updates!

So I know we haven't updated in forever.....but we have REALLY been in the middle of nowhere. The section through the high Sierras is at least a 9 mile hike out to a road where you might get a ride down to a town (and we did that 9 mile stretch and the library there was....tiny and not very well organized). So we haven't been anywhere were the internet connection was good enough to upload anything, but Raymond is working on uploading the last few that we had from before The Sauffley's. But I am working on uploading the rest of the pictures we have taken so far, and depending on time I may make a post highlighting some of them. Raymond put a link to the pics on the side so you can just click that to see what we have been walking through. We have fallen a little farther behind now, but we are not really worried. This last section, the high Sierras, was exhausting! And I was not about to try and do more as then we wouldn't have been enjoying it....and if I am not enjoying ...

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Day 11 - Kerid Crater & Reykjanes Peninsula

Day 11 our first stop was Kerid Crater. This was nice, but nothing special. You have to pay to get in, you can walk around the top and then down to the water, but if you are going to be seeing other craters then this is an easy one to skip. Nice, but nothing special.
