Dresden

Took a drive to the city that became famous outside Germany for getting the shit kicked out of it during WW2.

While that remains true, for those who come here, there is so much more.

There's a bunch of history with assorted kings, Dukes and other royalty, just like every other part of Germany, and probably Europe.

There is an amazing part of town, some of it in what is allegedly the Baroque style, that was built many centuries ago. 

Luckily (if that's even a word that you can apply to Dresden), this was all rebuilt from 1945.

And then I saw a guy torturing a tortoise. Or is it a turtle? Do you know the difference?

I don't even know if this is legal in most countries.

 

Before we left Dresden, we noticed a building with an uncanny association with Sarah

The whole building was themed to a little airline nobody here has heard of.

Our final excursion in this building found a cheese shop.

Which started me thinking...

If a person, or a family, had no other food, how long would one of these wheels last? 

I expect it wouldn't be the most balanced diet, though, would it?
