Magdeburg

Today we got up and headed on to our last stop - Magdeburg. I did consider stopping at the concentration camp memorial instead, but Raymond was like it is not going to be a fun stop so…which sure maybe not for our last stop of the trip. I do want to go back at some point because it really was so large and looming over the whole area.

I have had Magdeburg Christmas market on my list for a few years because I thought I went to this town with a friend many years ago and it was really cute and so it should be really nice with the Christmas market…only this wasn’t the town we went to! I finally figured out where we did go (the name is nothing like Magdeburg so I have no idea why I thought this was it), but this market was fine. Not the best, wouldn’t make a special trip to come back, but it was a fine lunch stop to have a short walk around. We did find vegan apple krapfen (like a doughnut but with apples wrapped up in it ). This was really good, but huge!! Definitely couldn’t eat one myself!

The town itself wasn’t amazing. Raymond said it reminded him of Berlin with all the old Soviet buildings that are very grey. They did have fun walk/don’t want lights though!

And then it was off to home! We got home pretty quickly which was surprising. Normally there is lots of traffic, but not today which was great for us!

Overall this was a great trip! I had thought we might get Christmas marketed out, but we didn’t! Raymond was even like maybe we should go to a Berlin one tonight. We had so much fun and explored a lot of great new to us places! Plus all the Krampus fun! Plus we got pretty lucky with the weather! Super cold at times, but almost no rain and even a bunch of sunny days! Really really great trip. Now to start planning the next adventure ;)Læs mere
