We walked through some of the shops here in Aachen. We went to a department store and walked around in the fancy grocery section, we walked through a toy store and a book store. Vladimyr bought one of the market bags from the book store. We stopped for lunch at a place called EssBar and had Schnitzel - it was quite good.
We decided to go to the Lindt Chocolate Factory, this was pretty much on the opposite side of the city from where Vladimyr lives so we got to see quite a few things. This is a picture of the old city gate from back when there was a wall around the city.
Not too far from the old city gate was the Lindt Chocolate factory. We didn't get to see where the chocolate was being made, we just got to walk around the outlet store - so no swimming in vats of chocolate for us. :-( But there were more types of Lindt chocolate than I had seen before and I was able to find some types that I know that I like in the big factory discount bags. I took a chance on a discount bag of a type that I don't know what they are. It's an adventure in chocolate!
On our way back from the chocolate factory we stopped in a yarn shop - I do want to buy some yarn while I am here but I wasn't too excited about any of the stuff - it was all good yarn, but nothing that really jumped out at me. We passed the Christmas Market again and stopped for another glass of Gluwein, this was from a different stand and it didnt' come in cute mugs but it was still warm and tasty. We also got some roasted chestnuts.
We dropped off the packages at the apartment and took a little rest. We then went back out and met up with one of Vladimyr's friends, Tue, and his fiancee. We had sushi for dinner. It was pretty tasty.
