10 Hours in Dresden

We spent a day on our way from Berlin to Prague in Dresden. 80 percent of the city's buildings were destroyed in Allied firebombing at the end of World War II, and so, like Berlin, reminders of a tragic past are everywhere. Much of the city's architectural and cultural treasures have been rebuilt, and the result is two parts breathtaking, one part disney. The highlight for us was a leisurely late afternoon lunch on the banks of the Elbe River. Happiness is two biers, bockwurst and potatoes, plum cake (delish!), and an excellent view for 11 euros.
