Today we got an early start as we had to make a quick trip back to the Leipzig Markets to buy some Christmas stars in case they don’t have them at the Chemnitz Markets. So off we go on the 9.31am train for an hour and 4 minutes train ride. We managed to find our way to the Leipzig Markets, buying my elusive headband along the way. Kristen’s found the star stall and  after about 30 minutes decision making time we w ere done. We could either run to the station or enjoy a little a stroll around the shops until the following train. SO we just took our time and caught the 12.21pm train back to Chemnitz.

We then just had a chat with Benny, some lunch and a little rest time until it was time for Benny to return to work for his dress rehearsal tonight. Kristen and I walked with Benny to work and then went on to the Chemnitz Christmas Markets. We started in the Medieval section and then continued looking around for another few hours. We enjoyed a pulled pork bun and hot chocolate before heading home to thaw out.

All three markets were a little different but special in their own way. We have enjoyed some lovely time together exploring the many different stalls and Christmas fare.

Benny is coming home tonight with Valeria, Livia and David, to enjoy a quick dinner and birthday cake for David’s birthday.

We shared a lovely night with Benny, David, Valeria and Livia for David’s birthday. Once again, it is lovely to share a small part of Ben’ life whilst we are here.

Happy birthday David.
