A couple of weeks ago, Chris and Al came out to Germany for the week. I picked them up in Hannover, then they hung around here in Braunschweig on Saturday night and Sunday. From there, they traveled to Berlin and Munich, but unfortunately I had to stay behind and work. However, me and Loren did take Friday off, and we all planned on meeting up in Prague, Czech Republic, for the weekend.
We woke up early Friday and headed to Hannover, from where we jumped on a train to Dresden, in eastern Germany. We were supposed to catch another train from the Dresden Central Station. Unfortunately we got off one stop too soon, and missed our train by 6 minutes. We were able to catch another train, but we had to wait a 3 or 4 hours. So, we decided to take a walk through Dresden, as I have heard it to be a beautiful city. It sure didn’t disappoint. The center of the city was filled with old, elaborate buildings and cathedrals. We checked out a few shops, then walked by the Dresden Kreuzkirche, the Dresden Cathedral, and a few other old clock towers. It turned out to be a great way to kill a bit of time!
We headed back to the train station, and finally hopped on our train to Prague. However, we didn’t start moving. After 30 minutes, we knew something was wrong. They made an announcement that a new train was on its way, as ours was broken. So, it was another hour or so wait before we were actually on our way.
At least it gave us a chance to see Dresden!
