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!
It looks like you are all having a wonderful time and I know you appreciate this opportunity to be together during the holidays. Thanks for the blogs and safe travels.
Was there anything you didn’t do! Seems like you saw everything and then some.
