Last night we went to Ravenna Gorge Christmas market, not too far from Freiburg. It. Was. AWESOME. It’s under a train viaduct thing that gets lit up in various colours. It was so atmospheric and fun, we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend if you’re in Germany at Christmas market time.
This really does highlight just how underwhelming Christmas is Australia. Here the local councils and shopping centers throw up some cheap plastic decorations and say yeah that'll do.
Totally. I'd love to see Xmas in Europe next year.
Yeah, it makes me sad that Australian decoration is so tacky and overdone.
Germany at Christmas is magic. I spent an amazing Christmas in Nuremberg about 20 years ago. Snow, Christmas lights, Tannenbaum's, glühwine.... So so nice. Enjoy
That is fucking gorgeous.
