I’ve borrowed this photo as I do not have any external shots of the cave entrance. It was snowing quite hard, I had no umbrella or head gear and couldn’t wait to get inside for some shelter. It certainly wasn’t sunny like this, it’s a shot over the top of the entrance to the caves. […]

Liege and its Christmas Market
We were left to our own devices for one whole day. After a late breakfast, our Tour Manager briefly gave us a familiarisation talk on Liege so that we could explore at our own pace. The picture above shows the more historic part of Liege – we bought a cast iron tea pot from here. […]
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.
