Hotel Dresden

... a little tour of Dresden too which was really nice! There are some pretty impressive old building. Well technically they are old but were almost destroyed in the war. They have only been rebuilt in the last 5 to 10 years which is amazing! Had a wicked Turkish vegie plate then said our goodbyes and got on the train back to Berlin. Back to public transport for us!<br>

... I yelled it out! Herron Paracetamol has been my savour. I pop a couple of those and I walk around on a cloud. Music sounds better, everything looks prettier.<br><br>I'm off to Munich for Oktoberfest now. Don't know how I am going to handle drinking a beer. Probably going to mix it with some Paracetamol!<br><br>Regards<br><br>Hard en<br>

... as myself, this was only temporary. A new language to learn and different beer to drink. My first taste of Germany, was not disappointing. As was the first taste of German beer, which I was going to get a skin full at Oktoberfest. It was nice to savour the first experience. <br><br>Using my super-tourist skills, I walked towards the pointy buildings I could see, the churches. It was a good indication that this was the city centre, or the tourist centre at least. For ...

... study European history as much as he did.<br><br><br><br> Dresden was ruled by the same family for many years and became Protestant during Martin Luther's fall away from the Catholic faith. When Augustus II (I'm skipping many intervening years) because the Grand Elector of Dresden, he started building and making changes.

... of time. After we were finished with the building, Steven decided to go into the armory museum, while Katy went into the art museum. I decided to sit outside and enjoy the scenery and people watching. It was right about this time that my camera died. And I had left the extra battery in the room, so I was slightly depressed. I waited for Katy and Steven to get out of the museums, then we made our way back to the bus stop to go back to the hostel. We wanted to get rid of a few ...

... were some postcards later on that I saw showing the whole area under water.<br><br>We came across a small stall across from the tapestry of kings (a mural that runs along a wall depicting all the kings of Saxony down the ages) which was selling the traditional Christmas figurines. They are a very big thing in this area, and some come with a pipe in their mouth and can be pulled apart to insert a fragrance stone (ie. incense) that you set alight to make him appear like he is ...

... is still so very exuisite. it felt like we were back in a time when every thing was black and white. if there were a few old model automobiles driving around i would swear i was in an old world war II movie. Dresden germany once part of East Germany and hidden behind the berlin wall is now totally different. its hard to imagine that im living in an old apartment that was once under the communist rule , and now years later after many buildings have been rebuilt and restored from the ...

MEINE FRESSE IST DRESDEN SCHÖN! Also was hier auf kleinem Platz entlang der Elbe geboten wird ist ja der Hammer. Von den Gebäuden sicherlich Deutschlands eindrucksvollste Stadt. Nach langem Staunen entdecken wir dann in einem Seitengang eine super Chelloband, die in Apocalyptica Manier aufspielt. Neben den klassischen Sachen gibt es auch einige ...
