Erfurt Day 2.1

Today we woke up to a beautiful day! Perfect for exploring Erfurt! The first photo is the view from our balcony - we are right on the one small waterway! We had a lazy morning then went to spy on all the Christmas markets. We didn’t find that many treats this year (it seemed like there were less stalls than normal), but we still had a good time. We got another fresh soft pretzel and did find some vegan klöße (potato dumplings) which are not what I was expecting! A bit gummy and not sure I would get them again, but I’m glad we tried them.

After lunch we wandered and spied on the cute shops and I found some winter plates that I love! I had gotten some Halloween ones this year and I liked having them for the holiday so I was looking for Christmas ones and found these! I don’t normally buy very much when we travel, but I keep finding things I have to have on this trip!

The photo with the bread guy - he is some German TV character. This city is where a big German kids network is so some children’s character sculptures are around the city which is fun.Read more
