... 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!

The Rebuilt City – Dresden

Dresden was pretty much wiped out in World War 2. It has since been rebuilt but the fires that burnt the city down remain and a lot of the old statues and buildings are stained black. I have been sick as a dog and nearly tainted the city with a bit of chunder!

So I don't have much to say ...

... has - tourism, and it is set up for it. The city has a great train and tram network and many tour guides and information staff walking around the main areas.

After walking around taking photos for several hours, my battery went flat. I took this as a sign to get some food and sample the local beers. After stumbling across an Australian themed restaurant, I did a double take and realised that the menu advertised VB, at a ridiculous price, but damn I wanted ...

... where one of the caches was placed. Of course that we also stepped into the church which is considered to be the oldest church within Dresden´s town walls. I was amazed by the huge and interestingly plastered nave.

Then, we parked our car right in the city centre, very close to the Frauenkirche. This is another stunning church that was destroyed during the WWII (Feb 15th, 1945). But as we all know the diligent German ...

... were some postcards later on that I saw showing the whole area under water.

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 ...

... which are in English (the 'lingua franca' of sailing days). I learn a great deal about sea shanty singing- especially when he starts singing them to me, for about an hour! Sea Shanty Website: Crossjack is in German, website- think based in Oldenburg. He is singing to me about King Louis. Learning about capstan vs windlass shantys (call them 'sea songs' not shantys): different beat and rhythm because they needed different speeds to lift and raise various sails. Also there are ...
