Snow drifts in Dresden


Thursday 9 December- we woke up early to walk to the bus station to get the bus to Heathrow. After a bit of a wait at Heathrow we were winging our way to Germany. We had to circle the airport for an hour waiting for the weather to clear and the runways ploughed. After landing and collecting our luggage we booked it to the hotel dropped our stuff off and made our way directly to the Christmas markets. We found them by following the sound of music and looking for the festive lights. Luckily, unlike things in England the market and many of the shops were open until nine so we had a couple of hours to peruse the markets and explore. We had a quick dinner of Bratwurst and had an amazing time looking at all the stalls and enjoying the festive spirit. When things began to close up we decided to warm up by have cake and coffee in a cafe before heading back to the hotel. Of course we misjudged the trams and ended up walking quite a ways to get back. It was an exhausting but excellent evening.
