Cologne, Two Days Before Christmas, But Wednesday In Fandom [All Day]

[rebelseekspizza]

Don't ask how the island managed to fit itself inside the Rhine with enough water to spare for the ship docked at its port: it just did.

Outside, Cologne came alive in the morning, as tourists and locals both flooded the streets to do their business, but also to go hopping from one Christmas market to another. Drinking, eating, carousing, purchasing gifts, decorations, and anything else that was offered at the stalls.

The city knew several Christmas markets. Its most famous one laid at the foot of the massive Cathedral at its heart, not far from the island. But half the fun of being here was walking from market to market, seeing what differed - and what didn't - from the most traditional markets to the LGBT Christmas market with its... amusingly shaped banana treats.

Or you could just enjoy the city. It was, after all, Cologne.

Rey was absolutely going to explore as much of this as she could, but she was taking time out to watch people ice skating. She actually probably would get out there herself- she'd never done it but it felt like something she might be at least okay at- but it was also nice to watch other people have fun, especially kids and the people who kept falling and laughing and getting up to do it all over again.
