Another farewell to a friend.  The last for quite a while.  Another day.  Another train.  The day commences overcast, yet no rain.  The dull greyish sky reflects my own rather fuggish, tired state of mind.  I can’t seem to shake myself awake this morning.   De…

Dresden lies on both banks of the river Elbe, mostly in the Dresden Elbe Valley Basin, with the further reaches of the eastern Ore Mountains to the south, the steep slope of the Lusatian granitic crust to the north, and the Elbe Sandstone Mountains to the east at an altitude of about 113 meters. Th…

3 days in Dresden in Germany. I was there with my mum, my aunt & my colleague. The last day we visited Meißen too.

Some pictures from Dresden during it's 11th city festival and the 803rd anniversary of my hometown.

1989 was a historic year. The iron curtain opened and Eastern Europe became more accessible. This was my first trip to the former DDR after having visited east Berlin during the "cold war". I wondered if some change was already visible after the reunification of Germany 4 years ago. As there were …

I made this trip in january 2008 with my german classmates. We went to Dresden, in the extreme east, and we had gone few hours in Dusseldorf too. Let's see.

I been to this place for 3 times...but only the third time i am free to give myself a walk in this relaxing city.

Dresden is one of those very few cities that looks as though it completely froze in the midst of World War II.  Traffic-stricken roads counter the ashen bridges that cross over Dresden's river, while the old pre-war architechture has been preserved and/or reconstructed to keep Dresdens old-tim…

8 in the morning. On the bus again. Last night in Berlin was a blur. Everyone ended up everywhere. Popping a pill with all the alcohol and left over weed didn't help. Managed to get on the bus eventually. And the right one aswell. We were headed to Dresden while the other Aussies went straight to P…

I went to Dresden for 5 days. I was there for a training and took the opportunity to discover the city! Some places are still under constructions.

My hometown and it's surrounding area... what should I say? The most beautiful city of the world. If you like/love it, too, come to my group about Dresden and tell the others, what you like about it.

What a beautiful city.  Drab and neglected by the DDR govt but with a princely and regal air to it.  A city that with a little touching up could be masterpiece.  The Frauenkirche is still a pile of ruins.  There is some construction on the site and it is fenced off, so I'm guess…

Hey there kiddo's! I apologize about the lack of updates, but it's been a hectic week. Not only have we visited 3 cities--trying to compact as much sightseeing into each day as possible--we have been out of the hostel from about 9 in the morning to 11 at night. So needless to say, I'm a little tire…

After spending far too much time , I thought, being hindered or well catering to the slow lane strolling on the sightseeing tip, I decided to greatly pare the group down a bit and do things at my pace.  So, after a slow morning, I went with Phil to the new train station and got a family pass (…

I decided to check out Antwerp for a few days after classes ended but before Christmas.
