Strasbourg Christmas Markets

Ah, my much loved annual trip to the Christmas markets with the gang! This year I went with Stu, Kris, Mailie & Jess to Strasbourg in France with one night in Stuttgart first. Strasbourg turned out to be one of the prettiest European cities I've ever been to. I'm surprised I've never been before. Half the time I felt like we were walking through a movie set. Especially when it snowed! We ate very well. The food is very heavy given it's the Alsace region so we didn't see a lot of salad and vegetables for the weekend. A brilliant weekend.

Early morning Stuttgart
