Spandau Christmas Markets 2013

Last year when Mama and Papa went to the Christmas Markets, they wouldn't stop going on about how good the Spandau ones were. 'You should have seen it', they kept saying.

Well maybe if they fucking took me I'd see it!

So I said, 'You better take me this year'

And they did!

So we caught the train to Alexanderplatz, met up with my friends there and then continued to Spandau.

Mama and Papa weren't wrong, this Christmas Market is really nice. I've been to Spandau a few times before and I love the old town. At Christmas time almost all the streets of the old town are lined with Christmas stalls. It was so good.

They even have some games and rides.

A common thing at Christmas Markets is Glühwein, which is pretty much hot wine. We had met up with some local Germans and they recommended we drink some Feuerzangenbowle, which is similar to Glühwein, except that it has rum soaked sugar burnt into it. They make the stuff in front of your and its very interesting. It tastes a lot better than Glühwein.

We liked this shit so we went back twice!

Spandau is so nice that even the streets that don't have Christmas stalls in them still are decorated so nicely.

The main streets were pretty busy, so I needed to be lifted up so I didn't get stepped on.

And of course as soon as I'm up at human face height, everyone wants a photo.

It was a lot of fun.

We said goodbye to our German friends and hopped back on the train home.

I had fun!
