Gert, responding to Di's nagging  loving request, planned a trip for us in Valkenburg, Holland. The city is the site of caves, created by the Romans when they were gathering stone for their building projects. They also served as bunkers during WWII.  Today the city holds a Christmas market in them.

We knew the caves would be intriguing, but the charm of the town itself was an unexpected bonus.

Thanks Gert and Di for warm memories of a cold December day.
