Day 7: Leipzig via Dresden

Hello from Leipzig!

Lynne and Leona’s wallets are noticeably lighter after visiting Dresden’s Christmas market on the way to Leipzig. The ladies picked up candle holders, Christmas tree decorations, treats and beautiful linens. As far as cities to visit, Dresden is the type of place that Lynne would return to for future Germany tours (more about that in a later post). The market is surrounded by churches and beautiful buildings.

Like many German cities, Dresden’s historic buildings were damaged during WWII. Many were rebuilt with a blend of modern materials and design, creating interesting architecture that the group explored today. Some buildings were newly constructed out of rubble while some buildings were reconstructed to look as similar to the original as possible.

Dresden’s historical area, the lighter parts of the buildings were repaired after the war.

Leipzig has a rich history, but unfortunately Lynne and Leona didn’t have much time to explore this evening. After a quick stop the Christmas market, they decided to catch up on some rest before the tour moves on the Nuernberg tomorrow.
