Day 9, 20/12/06, Home Page


After the Castle we decided to go for a walk around the Christmas Markets. It was certainly a bit warmer down there and we managed to find a few presents for the relatives too. Gai would not let me go ice skating for fear I might get hurt, however it is many years since I have done this, so it was probably a wise move. Ice skating was something I kept nagging her about all trip..
