The bus arrived on time and met the tram at the Rathaus, as scheduled, and it was a quick and easy run into Strasbourg and the stop for the Christmas markets.
I bought various presents for various people and we had lunch in our favourite restaurant in the place Broglié.
The drink is a "bière de Noël", which was lovely, with a very faint hint of gluehwein spices. The Swan Whisperer had more red wine than was really wise, but he enjoyed it, too.
We then walked round the rest of the markets, and when we got tired, we went back to the Cathedral and sat down for half an hour, until we were rather chilled, at which point we went to see their huge Nativity display, which was wonderful.
More photos will be posted on Facebook. By then, we were ready for a drink, so we bought some mulled orange juice which was delicious, and then headed back to the motor home.
Stupidly, we let the first bus go off without us - we were both sure it had said K5 on the front, not K3 - so instead of standing for 30 minutes in the cold, we took the tram back to the station and walked down the main shopping drag (doing this properly tomorrow when I won't have to rush), and got back to the bus station just in time! Now back in the motor home and it will be lentil curry for supper as it is quick and easy!
