Greeting from the Weihnachtsmarkt


Recommended Posts

Very sad what happened at Strasbourg these days.....

Anyway me and my wife have been out at the Weihnachtsmarkt of Bad Wimpfen ("Bath Wimpfen", not "bad")

Very nice but VERY crowded, lots of coaches with tourists

  

Cheers

Hi Waldi,

Very sad about Strasbourg, my wife was in Berlin at the Weihnachtsmarkt in 2016 when the lunatic went berserk with a lorry - very worrying.

I'm making a note of your various photo offerings to help with our selection process for next year.  Presumably you are posting in the TR4 area because you don't have access to Alec's Inn?

John Morrison - please note!

Hi Ian,

I wish it were my pics, and more important, my visits:)

Marco deserves all credit for these nice views in German culture.

Frohe Weihnachte und liebe Gruesse aus Holland.

Waldi

(and I do have access to Alecs Inn)

Hi Ian,

I did never realise Elec's Inn until your post.

I like to write in an opened forum where everyone can read and gets help and must be registered to write.

A closed part and not visible part of a forum could have a reason for example the admins.

But somethink like "you are welcome - but you have to be registered eaven to read" is not my think.

I would not join and not write anything there. 

Ciao Marco

By the way,

I wrote a well with photos illustrated manual how to overhaul the Norton "dollshead" gearbox at a closed german forum.

You can not find this by Google, if you want you can read all about how to do this with this link

My memories of Regensburg are an emergency appointment with a dentist;)

But it’s a nice city, I’m told.

You can't believe it, no Bratwurst and no Glühwein, but "Poncha" and  lots of stuff I never tasted.

after 2020 also 2021 nearly all christmas markets have been cancelled, we visited not one of them.

The only ones have been at the first advent weekend and I found this video at Youtube about the "Ravenna Schucht" near Freiburg.

Enjoy it.

 

Today me and my wife get our "booster" and we hope thinks get "normal" next year.

Have a lovely Christmas time 2021 anyway, Marco
