We spent three days in Dresden. We stayed in a hotel right near a church called the frauenkirche. You could see it from our window. The church was bombed in WWII but rebuilt by the people in Dresden about 20 years ago. They raised money to do it. There was a Christmas market right in front of our hotel too. It was a good Christmas market because you could hear people singing in a choir and a trumpet band playing Christmas carols on top of one of the stalls. They even played in the rain!
We ate lots of quarkballchen which are like small donut balls. They are so yummy. We also had some bratwurst, flammkuchen (like a German pizza with sour cream, cheese, bacon and onions), hot chocolate and gluwein.
We kept finding Christmas markets everywhere we went. They were all different from each other. They even had a really old fashioned one that mum said looked like it was from the Middle ages. Dresden has the oldest Christmas market in Germany.
We went to a dairy that was in the Guiness book of records for the most beautiful dairy. We had a cheese platter that had German cheese which you could choose from German or French. The German one was really yummy.
Now that I am in Nurnberg (land of lebkuchen) We had the the best lebkuchen I ever had in my lifetime and I was surprised they didn't have krapfenn which are German donuts.
We have a great room to stay in, it is a holiday inn but it is like a big hotel.
It took us 4 hours and a bit to get here by train. It was alright except that I vomited once but it didn't matter.
