Kleve, Germany is near Holland's border. Together with friends we went there to shop on Christmas eve, none of us imagined that this trip will give us a mini-adventure.
As residents of Nijmegen, Netherlands, it's convenient for us to shop for groceries in Kleve. It's just a bus -ride away, approximately 1 hour travel. It was Christmas eve, the city was nicely decorated.
We decided to go to Edeka, a big shopping mall to shop for goodies for the holidays.
I shopped for our favorite, pasta!
It's an avenue of shopping malls, comparing the price to Nijmegen it's cheaper in Kleve.
Together with friends we enjoyed strolling around the city, taking photographs and playing as kids until we decided to go home.
We waited for hours until we learned that there is no bus travelling back to Nijmegen anymore because it's Christmas. Our mini-adventure started, we need to re-route and try hard to communicate with a German taxi driver. Spent more euros for the taxi and try as fast as we can to reach a train station.
Catching our breath and trying hard not to panic, we were lucky enough to catch a train from Emmerich to Nijmegen.
Thank God because we reached home just in time to prepare for our very first Noche Buena together as a couple in Holland.
