A weekend before Christmas in Dresden

While there wasn't any snow on the ground or even a nip in the air, Dresden still puts on a very charming and festive Christmas spirit. Mum and Dad came with me for a long weekend in the oldest Christmas Market in Germany.

Searching for the 2014 special ornament

Ja bitte!

A trip to pretty Meissen

You can't come to Germany and not eat Schnitzel. This is a very fancy one stuffed with mustard and onions.

A trip for very fresh air and a walk around Saxon Switzerland
