Another busy day in Dresden. I’m just settling down in this city. Starting to know my way around, exploring all the areas and becoming familiar with the trams. 6 days is just about what it takes to settle in!!
After writing last night I decided I didn’t really know that there was no Einsteins here…so I googled and lo and behold there was one. So I went in search this morning. I had the address and I went up and down the fucking street with my tongue hanging out. But no luck, it definitely wasn’t there. So that wasted an hour or so. I got back on track and got on the tram to go to Pfunds Molkerei. LPG told me it was the Guinness- certified “world’s most beautiful dairy shop”. And beautiful it was…all tiled and frescoed. A real treat but first up I got into trouble for taking a photo (she gave me such a fright the photo is totally blurred!!). So I poked around and I went into their cafe for a coffee. That is when I went totally mad and decided I should try the dairy. So I got an Iced Coffee and a piece of cheesecake. How insane can you be?? I struggled through the iced coffee feeling like Gluttony itself. I, of course, make it through a third of cheesecake and had to leave the rest. I felt bad about that all day!!
Then I got on the trams again and headed off to the Militarhistorisches Museum for a bit of Military History. Not something I would normally go out of my way to do but it got a really good rapp. And it was a great museum…not at all boring and was really inventive in its display of the effects of war. I was there from 11 until 4. It was huge. They also had a special exhibition on Spies…the German Secret Services. I paid for both but by the time I finished the permanent exhibition I was done….and it was starting to get dark outside. So I flew around half the Spy Show and then called it a day. Big day, so back on the tram to the centre then hoofed it home.
A night for finishing off leftovers and clearing out the fridge. I’ll definitely have to eat out tomorrow night. One more day and I’ll return to the places I’ve particularly liked in a final walk around the city.
This time next week I’ll be in my bed and hopefully I’ll be warm!! (as long as the planes stay in the sky)
