Cologne christmas market.

I'm sure I saw a headline [Guardian on Friday or yesterday?] that Germany had cancelled the Christmas Markets. If it was a Senior Moment or a C.R.A.F.T. Moment, then, please ignore this

I’m sure I saw they have cancelled the Munich Christmas market, they had even started putting all the stalls up and said it will cost about 3.5 million in lost revenue.

Bavaria has cancelled all theirs Steve👍
 
There seems to be a level of uncertainty. But there are other markets. That's the bonus of having a MH. You can change plans and travel to where there's the opportunity.

We equally enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
 
We are in Cologne today and highly recommend it.

I’ve today just requested a refund of my Chunnel tickets & that’s where I was heading until last Saturday, looks fab, hope you enjoy

Can I just say that I think you have made the right decision. There WILL be far better times to make one's first trip abroad!
 
I daren’t show Val this post🤯🤯

Where can I park next Monday🤭🤭
There is a stellplatze by the Rhine a 15 minute cycle or 45 minute walk along the bank to the Cathedral and the Markets. It is not in the Low emissions zone if coming from the ring roads.

So now we have just gone have our covid test for coming home at the official testing centre at Rothenburg, asked where to pay for the test and they said No Charge!! Result👍👍 Now moved off the campsite in Detwang to the aire for an early start in the morning👍
 
My ukey friend has been booked on the Iona for a Christmas Markets Cruise. They’ve changed the itinerary after Hamburg was cancelled, but I think they are still doing the Bruges and Amsterdam ones. The alternative to Hamburg is a trip around Honfleur. To be honest the FB group she’s part of have organised so much to do on the boat, she won’t have time to get off! She’s packing Christmas jumpers, door decorations, I’m her ‘phone a friend’ for the quizzes - she’s stopped short of packing her uke!

Glad you are having a great time, be careful the test is allowed as NHS and free ones from other country equivalent are not allowed I believe?

The problem with the NHS ones is you do not get it certified by a Lab or receive the certificate of the results the tests are exactly the same from private providers. Denmark offers free tests for all and no problem using that for the pre-trave back to UK.

I’ve got a negative certificate, they said it’s what they’re issuing for travel to U.K.🤷‍♂️
We’ll see! It is from a private provider👍

Edit, the alde is misbehaving again🙄🤯🤯

Thats great then you should be OK.
 
Looks great WESTY66 we saw them setting up couple of weeks ago. Ticket machine was OOO then too so I wonder if its a seasonal charge?
The machine is very often out of order but we always try to pay but many don't bother.
Never heard of anyone being done for non payment.
