While many of our group were out tasting vinegar, we headed into Baden-Baden for a brief walking tour and a visit to the Christmas Market. Several years ago, we had been to Baden-Baden but on a Sunday when most places were closed – but given the Market, shopping wasn’t on our list of activities. Having two young girls with us necessitated a visit to the ‘ride area’ of the Market where they could enjoy a couple of whirls around the merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel.
This was a smaller market then others we had visited but still had all the traditional items – many booths selling ornaments, trinkets, jewelry, clothing and other items plus of course food and Glühein with the required souvenir mug.
Did I mention our ‘group’ collected some mugs?
Of course, we had to have a snack before heading back to the ship.
After visiting various booths and picking up a few things we made our way back to the bus to have some relaxing time on the ship.
That evening was a Celebration on board with lots of special treats and music.
Baden-Baden was our last port of call in Germany. Tomorrow we head to France!
My great great grandmother was born in Baden, Germany. Would like to get there someday. Have a very Merry Xmas and New Year Dave and Janeen.
I enjoyed the blog, have a safe trip!
