The last full weekend :( :)

Jazz again for the second to last time!

So this week has been just the usual school, school and school. But this weekend has been all about Christmas markets and cold weather.

Yesterday on Saturday my host mum and dad, Jojo and I went to FlintsBach and went to the first of three Christmas markets; Weihnachtsmarkt. We didn’t go there until 4 so that way it was starting to get dark and it looks much nicer when its darker because it’s all light up with lights and candles. It was really nice and all of the stalls with the different bits and pieces they had were so cute and pretty. Some of this market was inside and the rest was outside. While being here i tried a warm punch drink, which I didn’t like that much and some Bavarian chips; they were potatoes cut into a swirl and then cooked in oil and covered in salt, super healthy! But they did taste good. After looking at everything it was 5.30 so Jojo and I decided it was too cold and we walked home. On the way home it was so cold that one of my fingers turned white and my face felt frozen. But we survived :)

Today, on Sunday My host mum and sister, Jojo, our friend Babsi and I went to Kufstein in Austria and we went to two markets here. The first one was at a castle; we walked up many many steps and saw a really nice view of Kufstein. The market was in a tunnel area around some of the castle and all along the sides were stalls set up with all different kinds of creations. At one of the stalls there was actually a vase and some candle holders made out of trees from Australia. After this section we went outside into a large circle area that is used as an opera type place in the summer, but for the winter it is used for the Weihnachtsmarkt, but they did still have a group of men singing some songs, which was really nice and made it feel like Christmas more. Once we had finished looking around at all of the stalls and the castle itself we took a 1 minute train/cart back down to the city. While we were walking to the car we saw another smaller market in the city area so we decided to have a look at this one as well. There wasn’t much to look at and it was mainly just for food stalls but it was still nice and they had a band playing; not too sure what kind but they looked like a school or family group. The girl that was singing looked about 16 and was so good and she sung Christmas songs to set the mood.

Overall all of the Weihnachtsmarkts were reeaally nice and I enjoyed seeing all of them; also just for our luck today it even snowed while we were at the castle Weihnachtsmarkt! It was really pretty.

On Tuesday I am going to the Rosenheim one with Jojo and our friends. It should be nice as well.

That’s all for now, I’ll be back for my final one next week!

Von Jetz, Jazz :)
