Christmas Market in Merano

Well I have been suffering with a back spasm for a few days so my caring wife decided to research a place of healing for me - Merano Terme - for those of you not well versed in the tough realities of European life - a Terme is a place where you can go and have a Kur when you are feeling down and life has you beat, and the State Pays!!!!!

What the 🙈 is that about!

So we went and had a lovely swim in warm pools with the outside temperature a chilly 9 degrees - it worked!

Then on to Cmas markets, first stop is Gluwein for Mel, she is a very cheap date and after two small mugs is ready for bed ... Home .... Sleep - you know what I mean!

Then it was always going to be me vs this Pretzel ..... But it won!

There was even an Ice Rink .....

OK competition time - who can tell me what this is?
