Time to go home, DRESDEN

I will be away for a while.
Visiting home.
Time for MOM... (yippppie)
Coat of arms of DresdenTime for cuddles on the old sofa
Time to walk memory lane
Time to visit granny for her to-die-for apple crumble and lots of black coffee (that stuff brings the dead back)
Time for ice skating
Time for wild scrabble matches with brother ( I lost my GERMAN!!!)
Time for family and 
LOVE LOVE LOVE

While in town you must see:
Die Frauenkirche
Zwinger
Das Gruene Gewoelbe
Die Semperoper (for an Opera night)
take a stroll on the Elbe or a river cruise
take the horse carriage around the old town
The best time to visit Dresden is at Christmas time, the town is dressed in magic and the famous CHRISTMAS MARKETS are just dream stuff. The best market is the historical market, where everything is like in the middle-ages. No electricity, no modern sounds, just fires, animals, and back to basics. The best, however, is the oversized wooden barrel (think OBELIX), which is somewhat an ancient Jacuzzi. People get drunk on GLUEHWEIN, strip butt-naked, and jump into the fire-fueled bathtub. It is some experience! And it shows, that we Germans are not as stiff and prude as we look.
VIEL SPASS.... (have fun) in Dresden

Oh, last idea: Famous Trabi tour!


Enjoy a sightseeing trip like the OSSIS (East Germans) did. In a cardboard car, called TRABANT. Best to bring earplugs, as the sound of a TRABI should not be underestimated...

And for some traditional German fare with flair (the waitresses are dressed in historic attire, the setting in the cellar rooms is rather mystical and very entertaining with in-house fortune tellers and a few kings passing by...)
