Regensburg

Today we headed off on Christmas market adventures! First stop was Regensburg, which was just a stop as it was as far as I thought we could get after Raymond finished work. The drive was much quicker than I expected so we got here in time to spy on the Christmas markets. We also arrived with perfect timing! There is a tiny courtyard that fits 4 cars that you can park in if there is space or else you have to park in the parking garage a little ways away. Well we got here and it was full so we parked and unloaded and checked in and at check in the lady was like well someone is leaving if you go let them out you can park where they are! So that was perfect and right after we got here another car tried to pull into the courtyard too so if we were a few min later we would not have gotten a spot! So that was really nice.

We are staying in an old building in the old town that overlooks the one Christmas market! The last photo is the market from our room. They are all pretty small, but there were lots of really nice pottery booths and other artwork which was nice. We wandered through them all, got some alcohol free apfelgluhwein which was really tasty - tart instead of super sweet which I liked. Then wandered around a little bit more and by the time we came back by the Christmas markets they were already closed up! We didn’t wander that long and there were so many people at them it was surprising that they were so empty! It was a nice little wander and tomorrow we head on for our first Krampus run! I am very excited for that!!Read more
