    This morning, we packed up and drove to Dresden for a tour of the VW Transparent Factory where they manufacture part of the ID range of electric vehicles. A bit of a weird choice of things to do but it was reasonably interesting to see what a modern car production line looks like. Hint: very clean and quiet but without as much use of robots as I was expecting.

    Then a brief walk around Dresden, most of which has had to be rebuilt from the ground up following our bombing of it during the second world war.

    Our original plan was to spend a night in a hotel in Dresden but we couldn't find anywhere we were happy to leave the van overnight so we gave up on that plan.

    This campsite is very busy - it's a Friday night! It's next to a nice lake and there is a lot going on but I suspect we will move on tomorrow.
