Indeed, integrity and thoroughness are my bywords. :thumbsup:

Morning all,

I am off for a few days to stay in a hostel in Dresden (I am having a preliminary look for longer-term accomodation). Should also have more opportunities to explore the other Dresden stations.

For example, the hostel is situated near Bahnhof Dresden Neustadt station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden-Neustadt_station (yes, for added confusion there is a district of Dresden called Neustadt - not to be confused with the countryside Neustadt where I currently live!). Dresden Neustadt is also divided into two parts - 'Innere' and 'Äußere', inner and outer respectively.

I hope you got all that, there will be a test at the end! ;D

Yesterday we went to my hosts' relatives and had an Easter egg hunt. This was followed by the most stunning home made cake! Again, two pieces were needed to verify that it was indeed rather delicious  :D

Certainly looks yummy to me!  :thumbsup:

I'm not normally very hungry in the morning but today was different. I wonder why?  :D

Arrived at my hostel! It is in an extremely vibrant district. I just popped to a beer garden that was very nice. I didn't actually have a beer though, I had a Bratwurst with lots of mustard.  :D Plenty of time ahead to sample the beer as well though.

I can't imagine having a bratwurst without something to wash it down.

True, but I have been guzzling all weekend, needed a break! :D

Do they also ruin the beer with syrup in Dresden, or ist this just a Berlin thing? I once tried a Berliner Weisse mit Schuss with the green (Waldmeister) stuff, and this was really, really awful, so be warned! :sick: :D

YES!

I got offered a beer and I said "that looks like coca cola" as a joke.

Then I tasted it and it was like coca cola. But it wasn't, it was beer! Yuk yuk yuk mega yuk. :thumbsdown:

Had a nice surprise finding this Taurus at the Hauptbahnhof this morning.

Loco name Mr Potato Head!

For some reason I love those ex-DR boxes like 143, 155 and relatives :)

You would love it here then, there's loads of them in S-Bahn traffic! :)

A tad bleak and rainy today, so I thought a black and white photo was in order!

I have a 7 day Dresden public transport ticket, so I have been hopping on and off S-Bahns and trams for mini journeys within Dresden. Rather good fun!
