Christmas Market in Munster...

For the first time, I finally went on an AWC day trip to a German Christmas Market. This year’s trip was to Munster, which was just a three-hour journey from The Hague. My friend Jane came along and we spent the day exploring together.

The Germans aren’t shy about their love of gluhwein, so it shouldn’t be surprising that Jane and I tried some at a variety of booths around town.

The Christmas market wasn’t hugely impressive, but the historic center of the city itself was lovely.

The highlight of the Munster Cathedral, dating from the 13th century, was the astronomical clock, which is divided into 24 hours.

Since it gets dark so early during the winter, we got to enjoy the market lit up.
