Christmas Market Munich

Today was the last shopping day before Christmas because in Germany, nothing will be open tomorrow or Monday (well...maybe a few shops on Monday morning...). I.e., most stressful day to have to go out and get gifts. And needless to say, we were tasked with at least 4 gifts to manage, and ideally about 10. (We made it to 4, the rest will simply come late or are for my family so we have a few more days before we fly off to see them. :-) )

But thankfully, Munich Christmas markets are a fun place to hang out (with limits), and when good friends from Singapore are in town to hug and kiss, a warm mug of gluewein is in the hand, or one has a chance to munch on a giant marshmallow, it certainly helps make the time fly. Here are some photos of our afternoon, which we got to spend with Volker and Alex and their kids, gossiping about the old times in Singapore, and enjoying the frigid air (compared to the 35 degree swamp, which Alex was very happy to be away from...)

Tomorrow we head off to Pforzheim for the coming week.
