On day two of the Aachen Christmas market trip we woke up early and got ready for breakfast. Many rooms were unhappy about this as they wanted to sleep but they still got up anyway. We made our way down to breakfast, with most of our bags packed, and we were greeted with a lovely selection of cheeses and hams and bread rolls. When we had all finished out breakfast, we went down to the coach with our bags and headed into Aachen. After finding a bus stop to pull into, we headed down for our tour of Aachen. On our way there we saw a pharmacy just like boots. All I can say is that we couldn’t resist…
After buying all types of nail polish and gifts and looking at the twilight make-up we finally got to our tour. We had a guided tour which took us all around Aachen (within walking distance). Our tour guide took us to the famous springs, which smelt of fish, and up around the Cathedral. We learnt about how to find out where you were going with only some small brass plaques on the floor. Once the tour was over we were all very excited to go shopping! We had 45 minutes to look around the Christmas market before we met back at the coffee shop. After shopping we made our way to the meeting point and once there we were delighted with hot chocolate and gingerbread. It seemed that we were there for quite a while as one group had not made it back… The teachers were informed that they had split up with their group to go and find a previous stall, more hot chocolate for us! It was reaching 1 PM and after we all stopped at MacDonald’s it was time to leave. On the way to the ferry everyone was chatting about what they bought and what they loved about the trip. It was an amazing trip and we would love to do it again!
