30 Day Blogging Challenge  August 19th Berlin - Day trip to Dresden and dinner at a Palace We were booked for a 10 hour day trip out of Berlin to Dresden. Lyn had us gathering for 8 am so I grabbed a little something to keep me going before finding my compatriots. We all look a little travel worn this morning and I am no exception. I am looking forward to getting out of Berlin and exploring beyond this place... This day trip allowed me to absorb the wealth of culture and elegant architecture found in Dresden. It is the longstanding hub of German arts. We began with a guided tour of the city center on foot, learning about its history as we explored the Zwinger palace, Semperoper (Semper Opera) and Frauenkirche (Church of our Lady). The afternoon was ours to meander through the city’s lush parks, baroque architecture and lovely riverbanks along the Elbe, offering skyline views. I got a tranquil sense in this place.... I was able to breath again; recharge my batteries, so to speak. I particularly enjoyed strolling along the river Elbe; enjoying the beautiful views of the city https://www.viator.com/tours/Berlin/Dresden-Day-Trip-from-Berlin/d488-5560DRESDE... Dinner was at 7:30pm and it was divine. We got to spend a night out at one of the most famous sites in Berlin with “An Evening at Charlottenburg Palace,” - a dinner and concert experience with the Berlin Residence Orchestra, plus a tour of the palace. We enjoyed a 3-course candlelight dinner in the Palace Orangery. Then took in the classical sounds of the Berlin Residence Orchestra, performing selections from Bach, Handel, and Mozart. At intermission, we being VIP seat holders, received a lovely glass of champagne. I was glad Lyn's a Witchy Woman   booked us as VIPs. We also had a fabulous view of the concert itself. https://www.viator.com/tours/Berlin/An-Evening-at-Charlottenburg-Palace-Palace-T... Before bed I managed to slip down for another swim in the pool before climbing into bed for a good night sleep. |
