Germany, Dresden, 11 – 14 Aug 2024

Zary, Poland to Dresden, Germany – a two hour ride in hot and humid conditions which is fine as long as there is no rain hahaha.  So far no rain except for a drizzle entering Hanover, can not complain. There was a queue of cars at the German border, looks like they are checking for illegal immigrants. This has been happening since 2015 when Angela invited a million refugees from Syria into Germany. It was a Sunday so no trucks, Monday should be fun, I get around these road blocks without too much delay because I am riding a bike. 

Dresden – another nice German city that was bombed to ruins during the 2nd WW and has since rebuilt some of the buildings. It does not have an old town much like most other German cities that were bombed. Public transport trams and busses will get you anywhere, very efficient and cheap if you buy a day ticket for 8.60 euro. I discovered a few murals here and a Brew Pub with some very nice beer. I also ate chocolate ice-cream for the first time since the Netherlands as Poland does not have chocolate ice-cream.
