Dresden - Our first milestone

Almost 600km of cycling along the rivers Weser and Elbe brought us to historical Dresden. After leaving Lower-Saxony we've mastered a few little hills and enjoyed some rapid downhill runs during we're mostly blessed with sunshine and mild temperatures. However, one day we also encountered multiple showers of rain so that instead of putting up our tent we decided to spend the night in a hotel. We enjoyed the luxury of a real bed and bath. Again, the last few days we had plenty of sunshine and enjoyed the cycling and camping. Near to Bitterfeld we visited two friends of us and had a really good evening (thanks to Sabrina & Rico!) and in Meissen we got insights into the noble art of the Meissen State Porcelain Manufactory. Now we are in Dresden, where we're staying two nights at Marcus's home who we got to know via Warmshowers which is basically a platform like Couchsurfing for touring cyclists. Marcus is a super friendly easy-going guy who is living right in the beautiful old town. So, it feels like there couldn't be any better place to stay.Read more
