I'm glad you finally got to try a FRESH stroopwafel. I've started going xmas market hopping in europe over the past two years and have been to Paris, Strasbourg, Colmar, Basel, Mainz, Frankfurt, Vienna, Prague, Dresden, Nuremberg, Stuttgart. Highly recommend the ones in Germany and Austria. Colmar was great but kind of hard to get to. I'm not even as big a xmas fan as you so I'm sure you'd enjoy. Also, no shame getting mittens. I have a flip mitten glove so sort of the best of both words. Here's a tip, stuff a heat pack inside and your fingers will be warm all night!
@JordanandEmily Жыл бұрын
Ooohhh good idea with the heat pack! We had other friends do the markets in Germany and they looked incredible! So much so that we are currently trying to work out how we can get there this Christmas 😄
@enricovids Жыл бұрын
@@JordanandEmily Another tip, you can stick heat packs in your shoes too to keep your toes warm. They make special ones for the shoe because they react to air and there is less air exposure in the shoes, but I've used the regular ones and they worked fine. If you still have holes in your shoes, I would think they would work great 😜. If I recall some of those xmas market cities weren't cheap, even the small ones. I try to go in early December hoping for better weather, less people and prob lower prices. Not sure if it made any difference. I'll probably go again this year, just not sure where yet.

It is quite small, but it's in 3 spots to avoid crowds - this was done during Covid. Also they're visiting at 4pm on a workday, so most people are still at work. During weekends half of this square is filled with people and there's queues in the market. Pre-covid the market was in a circle around the tree 🎄 with fairy lights above, and that felt magical.
