Christmas Markets in Berlin

Berlin is magic.
Christmas is everywhere.
There were a lot of Christmas markets, and a lot of decorations around the streets.
Mr and I visited:
- Alexander Platz Christmas Markets (in Neptunbrunnen)
- GendarmenMarket (you have to pay 1 euro)
They were full of markets that sold great things, so many and so good Christmas decorations, good food (potatoes, brattwurst, Mr loves them, ....), and so much cold!!!!
Well I didn't enjoyed them too much because of cold.
But, if you visit this city in Christmas time....you have to visit Christmas markets!!

 

Lienz by night

This has been a very busy period. I was waiting for Christmas for having a little bit of calm, for taking my time, for relaxing.
But my body knows what's better for me, before than me.
That's why I'm sick. I've got the fever. And there's only 2 days to Christmas!!! :( I wait for Christmas the whole year, and when it arrives I got sick. :(

By the way, I now have some me-time, hoping this fever goes away soon! And what's better than a morning spent on my blog?

On December 13th and 14th, Mr and I spent a weekend in Lienz with some friends to see Christmas Markets.
Markets were small, but cute, we ate a lot of Austrian foods, and we had a great time. We arrived and we took a look at the Christmas markets, then we went to see the Castle! We hoped to visit it the day after, but it's closed until May 22nd....
Here's some photos!

Christmas markets, I love you!

I'm a very huge fan of Christmas markets!
Mr and I visited Christmas market in Trento in 2011, and in Levico in 2012.
I love the lights, the cold but warm weather, all the stands full of wonderful things to buy!
During Christmas markets I drank cider (I loved it!), I bought a pair of slipper that keeps my feet very warm, and I was going to try all the food in every stands...everything looked delicious!

Here's some photos I took from Christmas market in Bruneck!

And when the sun went down, Christmas markets looked even better!

....Santa is still packing gifts!!!

.....so after eating and buying some gifts we decided to visiting "Il lago di Levico"....

Then we took a little street, that was full of snow......
And I was wearing fake UGG......
...that AREN'T raincoat, as I discovered that day.
MY FEET GOT WET AND FREEZED.
I don't know if you ever tried that AMAZING sensation, but I can tell you, it's horrible.
These are the last photos I took (not so much because I didn't feel comfortable)....

....but I can say that I spent a wonderful day!!!!!

While Santa is packing gifts.....

.....I've been very busy in these days!!!!!!!!
So, in the weekend I had my first Christmas dinner, with the ones who came in Paris!
I didn't take photos, because the bride (yes, I still think about here in this way!!!) took a lot of them!!!
Anyway I cooked a flan that was really really good!!! (I'm going to share the recipe with you, one of these days!)
And we had such a great time together!!!
Then on Sunday, I went to Levico for Christmas Market!!!!!
OH.MY.GOD.
Such a great great Sunday!!!!

This good, patient girl, Annina, tought me a lot of things about camera!!!!!!
