Dresden a city with Character


Dresden a city with Character
There are cities which when you visit , you have that strange feelings , you feel that the buildings and streets have gone through different periods of times and experienced a lots of ups and downs and have a lot to tell about their history.
And so I felt as we visited ( rather because of a business meeting )Dresden for 2 days before even Walter told me about the history of the city.
It was bitter cold and was snowing but the landscape from the bridge on Elbe to Frauenkirche was so beautiful as we walked to the centre we noticed that there was a shooting for a film about the second war and the night which Dresden was burnt, the people were dressed as in second war and were running away , the old-timer cars and ambulance and smoke... looked at dark snowy night like a time travel to second war, it is more exciting to be in a film scene rather than watching it.
at second day we visited the tropical Island which was a genius Idea to turn a big bankrupted airport for zeppelin to a tropical Island with two big lake with sand and warm water and many different programs from different countries and a musical from Brazil, I found the Idea extremely interesting and after the cold weather 25 C in island was really a luxury
