Germany Christmas Markets

The weekend before Christmas, Gloria and I headed out to Germany for the Christmas Markets. We arrived in Koblenz and boarded a river cruise ship that took off up the Rhine the next morning. We saw castles and lovely old buildings as we went along. Saw the Lorelei rock and statue though I didn't get pictures.








We arrived in Rudesheim and headed off to the drosselgasse and wandered around the markets and shops.




We had tasty treats and decided to take a gondola lift up the hill.





Once we got to the top we wandered around and had races.







On the way down we saw Santa.



And then the market with lights.





The next day we spent in Cologne. Saw the Cathedral first.





Then the markets.




It was a very relaxing and fun weekend.
