Christmas Market part 2

How'd we even get here?

So basically, we spent the majority of our afternoon in the Museum of Science and Industry of Manchester, and by 5pm-ish(?) they pretty much closed so we were just like let's just go to the Christmas market now. We had quite the lunch (overpriced hotpot) so we weren't too hungry or so we thought.

~At the Market~

The market was huge, well I mean compared to the one at Leeds anyways...
First we got to the Holland area of the market.....


So we got fried calamari and apple doughnut thingy to eat, but just you know.....desert first.
Then we got some caramel waffles for take out. Twas nice. The remaining should be with Ksen, but I doubt they're still in solid form and not digested. (They are still whole and untouched waiting for Geo to return, thank you very much! -KK)

Next to the main square we walk...through a hoard of human beings.
Basically this was the German part of the market with all the stereotypical sausages, mulled wine etc. 
(Saying etc cause can't think of anything else~~)
Set up in front of the town hall, it was all lit up and stuff and this is pretty much what it looked like.





















But the poor uni students writing this blog didn't have any cash on them.
So they set off on a long and saddening quest of locating the ATM. 
Just one of those moments when you need something at it doesn't seem to exist anywhere near you.
After about 5 minutes of walking we found an ATM with quite a line. Twas cold. (sad face)
I present to you Ksen acting happy for the camera while waiting to get cash.....

After this expedition of ours, we made a detour to the international(?) section of the market. Whilst looking for something savory to eat, we got desert.... 
(we aren't very good with the conventional meal order deal with it)


We decide to go back with to the main square, and have one last savory meal before we leave. 
After all that food, we had a full Flammkuchen to share obviously, we aren't savages. 
It's moments like these when you have to specify you shared that you realize you might be eating too much....

Anywho, ended the night by going back to Ksen's accommodation and watching a thriller movie. 
Twas nice.
