Dad and I seized the opportunity to access the steam train viewing...
Dresden, Germany v1213Today has been my last day of travelling with the parents and also my last day in Dresden. While Mum and Dad will be staying here for another 2 nights including this evening I am departing on the City Night Line in a couple of ours for an overnight journey to Frankfurt. It all began with me waking from one of my best sleeps of the trip (no snoring and a proper bed!) in my own nice Mercure room before joining up with the parents for breakfast. As I waited for Mum and Dad to prepare themselves,...

After the bombing, Dresden ended up in East Germany under the control of the Soviet Union. The Soviets did not want to fix up anything that smacked of the west so no churches were repaired, only art things and palaces that they wanted to use. Luckily for us all, the Nazis had taken the art collections and buried ...
... me a few minutes to get one, but finally someone got off the train and I took their seat. Then a few stops later, we got to move into 4 seats with a table. It was so much better sitting forward, but my stomach was still unsettled.
When we arrived in Dresden, it was a short and quick walk to our hostel. We dropped our things off, then headed out to dinner. Katy had found a place in her guidebook that sounded pretty good, so we took the bus across the river and then walked ...

... rectangular, silver relatives of R2-D2. About 28 cars are produced per day, but they have seen a reduction because of the current economic situation. What is interesting about these cars, is that they were already bought before assembly. Remember all those options for customization? You can even come to the factory and see your "baby be born," step-by-step and even install your own steering wheel-but you don't get a discount for ...
