Trier Christmas Market

Today we went to the Trier Christmas Market. Val, Ed, Don, Irene, Kate, Marty and I all trundled off to the gare and took the train to Trier.

It was a bit rainy but that didn't stop us. We first found the hat shop Mum was looking for, and then walked through the market..... we ate sausages and amazing garlic mushrooms. We had gluhwein in Trier Market mugs (you pay a 2 euro deposit for a mug which is decorated with picutres of Trier and says Trier Market and the year, and you can either keep it or take it back for a refund). We then bought a few bits and pieces for Secret Santa presents for work, and then off to the wine bar.

There was an old wooden wine press, and lots of old barrels, so we sat between them and had coffee's, coke's, cheese and wine. We then went back to the market and bought hot chocolate to collect some more mugs, (even though mine said 2004 on it!!!), and then back to the station to get the train home.

Very tired , but a very nice day.
