Finding the balance of right amount of layers of clothing that will keep you warm when you are standing still but not over heat you when you are walking and not too many that entering any establishment requires you to take off the equivalent of your entire wardrobe has been the goal of today. I think we have worked it out.
So it is to the Nature Museum and Botanical Gardens for the morning.
We took a wander over to the "old town" but it appears that everyone was at the Christmas markets, this was the second time we have headed over to this side of town and the both times it was very quiet - like a university town in midst of summer break - except it was freezing cold.
It was disappointing as all the pubs/restaurants on this side of town are so gorgeous and cute you just want them to be full of lively Germans having fun.
We headed back over towards the Christmas markets via the old pedestrian bridge. It appears the padlocks of love hanging of bridges is not just a Paris thing, it is here in Frankfurt (and I also saw it in Heidelberg)
We spent the rest of the night at the Christmas Market venturing from bar to bar and eating sausage in between. The markets are such a fun place to be. Although very touristy, it appears the locals enjoy it just as much, meeting up with groups of friends and making an afternoon/evening of it.
