......... A Christmas Market Trip

Hi!

This weekend (well Thursday to Monday) have seen me, the Mr and our friends go on a christmassy trip.

We went to see the Christmas markets in Vienna and Prague.

Our journey started on the eurostar and then on a sleeper train. I had never been on a sleeper before and was not sure what to expect but it was ok. Not quite as comfy as a proper bed but not bad.
We reached Vienna and it was so in the Christmas spirit I couldn't help but feel excited for exploring the markets.

Vienna is a beautiful city but at Christmas it really comes alive. Huge chandeliers hang overhead and every street is lit up. The market was in a place called Rat Haus and it was really pretty. I treated myself to a door wreath while the boys got drunk on punch and jaga tea!

We were in Vienna for two days then it was on to Prague. Again a beautiful city with extraordinary buildings. The market here was a little bigger and was more food orientated then Vienna.



We were only there for the afternoon before flying home the next day so we wrapped up and spent a good few hours wondering around whilst seemingly trying to conquer some man vs food challenge!

We ate sausages galore, pastry, cheese, kebab and pig from a spit. They had a huge christmas tree right in the center of the market and there were a few buskers dotted about performing Christmas songs.




This trip has definitely got me in the festive spirit and I am now itching to get the tree up at home.
I would highly recommend you visit these markets if you have chance. The Birmingham one is good but these are something else!

Much love
