Xmas Markets Trip to Vallendar - Köln

Saturday 6th December - Köln

Excellent buffet breakfast at 0745. Drizzle but it stopped although the day was mostly grey. There is a railway on an embankment between the hotel & the Rhine so one does not see the river! Some people were dropped in Koblenz before we set off for Köln. This was not as busy as last time & there was no trouble parking. We took our new friends Joyce & Linda into the Dom Market & left them while we went to the Altmarkt, where I bought a ceramic church model for our Catholic cleaning lady, & the Neumarkt, this latter being through crowds & very crowded. On the way back, we stopped for a slowly delivered lunch & I gave a Gerry on our table some English practise to my German. Avis had bratwurst & I had blutwurst. We went back to the Heumarkt, which has a skating rink in it & we had glühwein. The sun came out but it had become colder through the day. Link to another AGFHS Köln market trip).
