(Original travel date: 12/1/2023) Lots of organizing in the morning and making our way to the train station in the early afternoon for a 5 and a half-hour-long-cross-country-high-speed-train to our next destination. Dresden! Back in Florence on the Elbe. Except this time was a lot, Lot, LOT colder! Snow. Everywhere! And cold, so very, very cold.

Also a nice visit to the main and Germany’s oldst Christmas Market – the Striezlemarkt. “The Striezelmarkt in Dresden is one of the first genuine Christmas markets in the world. Founded as a one-day market in 1434, it celebrated its 585th anniversary in 2019.” It was too late to do anything today!
