Eastward to Saxony II : Dresden

Our Saxon adventure continued!

After our memorable day and night in Freiberg, Louis and I made our way to Dresden. The short (30 mins) train ride went well, apart from the sweltering heat. We promptly met Tina Schönfelder, Tina Lebelt and Tirza, who had come from Weimar for the day, at the train station on the wednesday.

We spent the day hat hunting, visiting the zoo and enjoying a BBQ while relaxing at Tina S's place. It was nice to slow our vacation rhythm down and to relax a bit.

The second day was dedicated to visiting Dresden itself with the Tinas, with Tina L serving as our personal tour guide. Dresden is a beautiful city with a nice vibe. especially in the New (ironically older) City.

On the friday morning, Louis and I boarded yet another train for the 12 hour trek south to Trento.

I will definitely be returning in the future, and would like to thank everyone that joined us during out time in Saxony, with special thanks to Tina S and Markus for providing us with accommodation.
