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!

Fall is here!

So not a whole lot has happened since I last posted. On our anniversary we were going to go on the boat tour of Berlin, but it was rainy and overcast so we decided to wait for a nice sunny day to do that. We had a few errands to run in the morning and then Raymond said about going to a museum. I saw the natural history museum and since I loved the one in Denver we decided to go there. You walk into this big room with lots of fossils and Dinosaurs! They didn't have a lot of things - this was the main room and is maim attraction of the museum. It was a tiny place, and they were doing renovations on a lot of the other exhibits. Apparently it is famous for having the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world! They also had these fun viewfinder things you could look through and if you point it at a dinosaur it would show this animation that filled them in and then showed them running around or eating or whatever. I thought it was fun. There was also a large room of rocks and m...

Den Haag, Netherlands Part 3

Our last day in Den Haag we wandered around just a bit more First stop - the Antique and Book market The ground was all seashells Mondrian on the water by the government buildings We decided to get lunch at Cafe Zeta which was in Grote Markt where they were having a free music festival, Sinester. Though we were there on the last day which was the kids day. It was fun as we were sitting outside and at the stage people were teaching kids how to play things and DJ and stuff. I got the Hippie Buddah Bowl (Bulgur, sweet potato, bald, roasted chickpeas, tahini dressing, avocado, black sesame seeds) with the Fennel mint pear juice And Raymond had the Apple Pear Ginger juice and the Veggie Roast Bowl (mushrooms, red onion rings, rocket, Parmesan cheese, olive oil). Super tasty lunch! A stop at More Pastry for more treats - Peanut butter chocolate tart - so good! And the...

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 ...
