Germany Part 1

My Mom and I went on a trip to southern Germany at the end of my studies. We went to a few towns to check out the traditional Christmas markets.

Snowing in Nuremberg!

Snow Blizzard

Well, I will begin Germany pictures right after this, but here are some photos from the blizzard that just occurred here in Cranford, NJ. Sorry London, but 20-30 inches is actually a good reason to shut down airports, not 5 inches.

Paddington explores Germany

I'm sorry I have been missing in action lately. After my liverpool trip I was sick for quite a few days. I was pretty bummed because it was my last week in London to do some sightseeing and I could hardly get out of bed. I managed to get a lot of my stuff packed up and my mom came. We spent a day in London then went to Germany to travel to a few cities to check out the Christmas markets. Pictures to come... We came back to London to pick up the rest of my stuff (I had an extra suitcase worth of clothes) and then we were scheduled to fly out from London to Munich, and from Munich to Newark. Well we arrived at the airport Saturday the 18th, and it felt like we stepped into hell. We waited an hour to get our bags checked, and once we were through we noticed it was snowing heavily out. It turned out our flight was cancelled along with everyone elses. We immediately booked a hotel, but had to go downstairs and wait 3 hours for our luggage to come back. It was quite a nightmare. Our airline was not helpful and we had problems booking a flight. The earliest we could get was Tuesday morning. Turned out to be a blessing because there were so many cancellations Sunday and Monday. We spent a few days in the Hilton Heathrow Hotel and Tuesday we were one of the few flights that wasn't cancelled. It was quite a nightmare but I am glad to be home now.

Ours was the first one there that doesn't say cancelled or please wait. 

It was so nice to finally see some blue skies. It had been way too long.

So Germany pictures are to come but first I would like to share pictures of Paddington. I bought him towards the end of my London trip, so Germany was his first adventure.
