...This is part of my travel diary on a tour from Contiki. As part of the journey to Prague, we stopped at Dresden for a few hours and below is my experience. Dresden, 124 miles south of Berlin, is the capital city for the state of Saxony. During the Second World War, the entire city centre was wiped out in the 1945 bombing which was master-minded by Winston Churchill.

...Another DVD from the Dresden Dolls LIVE. This one has a great feel. London's Roundhouse was a great place for such a fantastic band to play in there are a number of guest performers. There are a mixture of songs from there albums along with a cover of Mad World and a song from Cabaret.. Plus there is documentary that generally highlights the guest performers with some showing of the band themselves. this is a wondeful oppurtunity to see the great band themselves perform. like Parisde dvd you feel like your there. this is a must have for any Dresden dolls fan and every fan of music i cannont stress how much that this showcases there talent i highlty recommend that you watch this. this is a treat for many and a fantastic chance to see the dolls in action...

We booked the hotel direct through their internet site. http://starwoodhotels.com/fourpoints/property/overview/index.html?prope rtyID=1304 We managed to get a special offer room for 60 euros per night and were very surprised to end up in the Hochzeit zimmer, or honeymoon room. Location The only difficulty we had was with the location of the hotel, we should have looked into this before arriving in Dresden to make sure we knew where we were going as we were using public transport, and the hotel was out of the main city centre. The hotel is situated on the Altstadt side of the Elbe, were the Zwinger and opera house are. We took the tram to get to the hotel it took about 10... Read review
