Initially I was going to work on the Keampfer this weekend, but I went along with my girlfriend to Cologne to her parents. This weekend was the first advent and in the Netherlands we first have ‘Sinterklaas’ on the 5th of december and after that everything gets christmassly. But no, off to Cologne and some of you might now that during the days before the holy fest there is the famous ‘Weihnachtsmarkt’.

That Weihnachtsmarkt or Christmas fair/market is a hell during the weekends. Bus loads of tourists are dumped in the city and everybody drinks Glühwein, eats Currywurst and tries to keep warm. All in all, we visited the market. Noticed it was way too busy so we left and then we spent the other day just at home doing nothing, like a Sunday should be.

Now I have to finish my Sinterklaas presents quickly before friday and still buy some gifts for Christmas too! December always cleans out your wallet. Every year after another :)
