Ding Dong Merrily on High

We ended up going across the bridge and to a restaurant just around the corner from where we had dinner the previous night (also recommended by the hotel). I had the "special" roast duck and Ian had steak with a sausage, it was a nice meal and very atmospheric as we were in the buildings basement with domed brick ceilings. We then wandered around the city some more making our way to the famous astrological clock, despite a mad dash through the crowds we just missed the chiming of the hour. We wandered around the stalls of the Christmas market there, picking up some very nice blown glass ornaments. As the hour approached we made our way to the cafe just opposite to have an eye level view. despite the anticipation and the crowds the chiming of the hour was less than thrilling and we were glad to be inside and enjoying hot chocolate and fried apples when it happened. Then it was some more shopping before a heading back to the hotel for little break. Then out for dinner at the same pub as we ate at before (the food was that good and much more reasonably priced then elsewhere), a short stroll and some last minute shopping then back for bed.
