Andrew and I got married on September 24, 2016, and after waiting a couple months we are finally off on our honeymoon! The trip is scheduled for 3.5 weeks in Thailand and Hong Kong (with a quick stopover in Frankfurt on the way to Asia!). We left Toronto on Dec 17, 2017 with our backpacks ready to go!
Our first stop was an 11 hour stopover in Frankfurt, Germany. Since we only had limited time, we headed straight for the Frankfurt Christmas Market in the city centre. We had a great time strolling through the streets, sampling the different foods, and just taking in the experience! This is one of the largest Christmas Markets in all of Germany!
Below are a few photos from the Christmas Market:
Of course we also had to buy some German pretzels! They are delicious, and they come with various toppings – the ones we had were topped with loads of cheese:
Once we were done at the market, we took a little stroll along the riverside: (where Andrew made some friends with ducks!)
Before heading back to the airport we stopped at a little German restaurant for some 1L steins of German beer and some lunch:
All in all it was a great short stopover in Frankfurt - we wish we would have had time to see more of the city, but that'll have to wait until next time! Once we returned to the airport we got a great little surprise - we were upgraded free of charge to Premium Economy tickets (we had purchased Economy) for our 11 hour flight to Hong Kong - oh what a difference it makes! The seats are bigger and there is much more leg room!
