For the past few weeks we have been enjoying several German Christmas traditions -- including visiting numerous Christmas Markets, St Nicolas day (6 Dec) and even had our First Snow day just a few days before Christmas.

We also have more traffic and it isn't unusual that there is a traffic ...

... half price...we will make budget today. Back in the room we take long hot showers without having to push a spring loaded button and get truly clean and groomed for the first time in several days. We will see the castles tomorrow and use our eurail passes to ride the boats on the Rhine. Maybe do some wine tasting since this area is supposed to have some of the best wines in Germany and it is wine festival ...
