About halfway through the trip, we took a three day excursion to Dresden, which is directly south of Berlin in Saxony, and while there, took a day trip to a small town called Meissen. This name may sound familiar to you, as this is the town where all of the expensive porcelain is made. The trademark for Meissen porcelain is the two crossed, blue swords. This was the view walking over to the main part of town from the train station. On the right is the town's castle and main cathedral, which we visited.
A closer view of the cathedral. The castle is the white building in the background.
This is looking out from near the cathedral back at the rest of town, along with the bridge we crossed from the train station to get into the main part of town. It was a very nice day there.
Looking over the main part of town. Again one that probably did not see a lot of bombing during World War II. However, this was located in the former East Germany. Yet the porcelain was allowed to continue. Go figure.
