Medieval markets Saturday evening Koln

Headed to the other side of town where some more traditional markets were to be found. On the way we passed through another Christmas market - (each market seemed to have it's own speciality) this one sold skewers of pork which were barbecued on large stoves in the open, beautiful carved wooden toys and ornaments and lots more.

The medieval markets had very traditional fare - mead, gluhwein (a more aromatic variety) and old traditional crafts.

Every market area had stalls decorated in a different style - all very Christmassy, lots of pine branches, candles and other decorations.

Headed off again and found a restaurant for dinner - by this stage W&K's friends had increased to 10 so we had to find a large table - Very German food -(same beer again!) sausages, schnitzel and potatoes... The waiters were funny - not much patience - very efficient!

The end of a long, cold and very enjoyable day.
