Christmas - German style

Things are really cooling off in London and last weekend we visited Bremen in northern Germany in search of some of Europe's famous Christmas markets. We had a rather large group of 8 this time flying into Bremen on Friday night and wasted no time in locating some delicious late night German sausage. Some of us ate 8 sausages (including one 1/2 metre in length) in the less than 48 hours that we were in Germany. We wandered the markets for the 2 days eating everything in sight browsing other stalls and consuming large amounts of very warming Gluhwein (German mulled wine) and also sampling a few of the famous German beers.

Bremen seems like a nice quiet town with not many claims to fame other than being the home of the world famous Becks beer. A few locals that we spoke to were quite suprised that we travelled just to Bremen, but I would definitely recommend it for a nice friendly town and excellent Christmas markets. Anyway - as I write this it is only 5 days until we return to Brisbane for a few weeks Christmas festivities..bring on the heat - Morgan
