After Berlin we needed somewhere a little smaller to rest our feet and Dresden was on the way to our next port of call. We were pleasently surprised...
Dresden is built on two sides of the Elbe river. It was bombed to bits during the war but they have rebuilt the wonderful baroque buildings and now it's a great place to wonder around in, listen to quartets play, sit back a have a stein and watch people and dogs play in a water fountain, providing hours of amusement.
One poor lass...
'Our Lady' church. The black bricks are the original pre-war stones, the lighter
are the new stones needed to rebuild it.
A wall fresco of the Saxon kings - Dresden used to be the capital.
We can also recommend the 'new town' for some good dinner and bars. A fun stop-over enroute to Praha...
