Medieval faire surprise and Ramparts
The next morning we hiked up the hill hoping to find a Christmas market. The market was set up outside the walls and had a Medieval theme with animal skin clothing, iron and leather goods, jams and honey, and crafts of the earth, not really sure what that means but it sounded appropriate for what I saw. A band occasionally played and drew a crowd.
When we crossed the drawbridge, what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature medieval camp and 8+ stations to learn.
Blacksmiths, weavers, archers, and knights, jesters, horse trainers, printmakers and cooks. All jolly and ready to share their wealth of knowledge to those who ventured by. I love this kind of stuff.
The rest of my crowd, not so much. Their eyes were set on touring from above via the ramparts, so off we went.
