Foreign Perspectives

Although we’d quite like to go to see the German Christmas markets at some point, it’s obviously going to be pretty cold where-ever we go in Germany.

That being the case, we’re also looking towards the south and Rome sounds like a place that would be pretty much ideal at that time. Christmas clearly would be a “big thing” there of course but there’s always lots to see in Rome at any time of year and it’s going to be quite a bit warmer than Germany too.

I thought that it would have cost a fortune to do Rome at Christmas but I was wrong and flights are available for around £20 a few days ago (they’ve jumped to £50 now) plus hotels in the centre are still quite reasonable.

We’ve also got Switzerland in the frame too though Wendy’s a bit worried about snow on the roads if we were to head into the mountains which you pretty much have to do in Switzerland.
