| The view from our window... |
Spent the morning catching up on emails and bookkeeping and
at 11:30 am the taxi came to take us to the Berlin Haupbahnoff for our train to
Dresden. Everything went fine until two
seconds before we boarded and they switched the track number! Bedlam ensued and we ended up getting on the
wrong end of our car and fighting our way down to our seats for ten
minutes. When we arrived in our cabin…our
four companions were there and had used all of the luggage space for their backpacks! But everyone adjusted a bit and we settled
in for our two hour train trip with a large suitcase between our feet. But we did have window seats!
Arrived in Dresden just before 3 pm and walked the short
distance to our new hotel/hostel; yes we hear the trains at night but we’re on
the seventh floor (with elevators) and have a fabulous view of the city. And best of all the price is very reasonable
at only 60 euros a night. The room is
small but we have our own bathroom and television! WiFi is free in the lobby and we have to pay
6 euros for breakfast but that starts us with full tummies every morning.
We settled in and then headed back to the train station
about 5 pm for some dinner and then caught the tram into the old city to learn
the lay Surprised with the
crowds but soon discovered they are having a festival this weekend: Dresdner Stadtfest…complete with rock
bands. But we spent a couple of hours
walking and taking photos while we located the things we want to visit
tomorrow.
