I travelled to Augsburg for the day with my mate Harry (who here enjoys a local sausage sandwich)
A rare official use of the swastika in Germany, plus some amusing extra scribblings
Augsburg, Bavaria's oldest city, is full of colourful houses
My mate Matthias lives in Augsburg, and it was about time I visited him instead of him coming to Munich
Backlit beer (I'll do anything for a strange photo)
A night-time Christmas scene
The kitschest Christmas angel show on earth, courtesy of Augsburg Town Hall
Traditional Augsburg architecture
Mulled wine with extra schnaps at Augsburg's Christmas market - bring it on! (note the excellently four-years-out-of-date mugs)
Matthias is happy to see me - I hope...
Matthias' mate Stefan is fond of a drop of Glühwein
A spinning Glühwein stand - a giant recreation of a popular German Christmas table decoration
Christmas cheer, Augsburg style
Me, Stefan & Matthias snuggle up in the Christmassy cold
A funky bar with funky lighting (and funky guests like us)
Bizarre see-through sinks in the loos
Harry & I admire the snacks...
...and let's face it, the snacks are pretty attractive!
