Day Four- Transitioning
Our morning began bright and early with an eight am check out time for our hotel. Sleepily we filled on to one of our three buses, en route to Prague via Dresden. After driving through the German countryside south for about three hours, we arrived at our destination. The historically rich city is a haunting reminder of the tragic devastation that came along with the Second World War. Once known as the “Florence of Germany”, Dresden was fire bombed on February thirteenth 1945. Nearly the entire baroque city was destroyed. Today the restoration of the former rubble and crumbled stone is a brilliant visual representation of the city as a phoenix, rising out of the ashes. I personally hope to return to this breathtaking place and continue to marvel at its resurrection. Around six pm we arrived at out hotel in Prague and settled in for the evening. Dinner consisted of a buffet arrangement of local food and desserts, which included some of the best cream puffs I’ve ever had.
