Valkenburg Christmas Market







We're fans of the Kerstmarkt (Christmas markets). Last weekend, we kicked off Christmas market season with a visit to Valkenburg in the south of Holland. It was unique because the market takes place in the caves in the town. It was really special because it was snowing at the time. Having never experienced a white Christmas, this may be as close as I ever get to it, so it's something I relished. Next week, we'll be checking out the Aachen Christmas market. Can't wait. Heard really positive things about it!! And we love all the food stalls at these markets. Bratwurst, ginger bread, gluhwein, toffee apples, marzipan, hmmm....yum!
