Aachener Weihnachts Markt

More pics to share….The market itself. It was so cold outside, we nipped into Henry Lambert’s for a comfort stop and respite from the cold. Our camcorder actually stopped working because of the cold. We ordered some gluhwein, as you do, whilst in Germany, and they gave you a couple of biscuits to wash it […]
