Starting the Christmas Markets tour

---

We had spoken briefly with the tour director, Jon, on our return to the hotel, Now it was a matter of being in the hotel foyer 15 minutes before the advertised start time to tidy up some administration. We did, only to find the briefing had been underway for a few minutes already by the designated start time. I hope this doesn't mean that punctuality is going to be a one-way street.

Frankfurt Christmas Markets Part Two

Our first tour excursion was a visit to the Frankfurt Christmas Markets, fortunately to a different section to that which we had visited earlier in the day, and it was in the early evening. We have been equipped with a small radio receiver that allows the tour guide to give their spiel without crowding all 47 of us uncomfortably close to each other. The range is limited, but not so limited that Jon wasn't already around the next corner explaining where to go while the tail enders were too far away to see anything that was being pointed out to us.
