July 17th – We arrived in Dresden, Germany last evening, found a nice hotel and spent the night. We then enjoyed the morning seeing the sights of Dresden.
Dresden was one of Germany's most beautiful city in the 18th century when it acquired many magnificent buildings, however most of these were destroyed during World War II. There is great restoration going on today but there was a nice area to visit where some historic buildings are still standing.
I don't have much information about these buildings but they were interesting to visit. Hopefully, google can shed some light when I get home and can look them up.
The last building is the Zwinger, the most famous monument in Dresden. It was constructed in 1709-32 and is surrounded by a spacious courtyard.
After viewing all these magnificent buildings, we sat down to have something to drink with a new friend we met!
