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. It is also the place where ex-president of Russia Putin stationed during the cold war.
Our first stop was the Frauenkirche(the Church of Our Lady). The Dresden Frauenkirche survived the firebombing of Dresden during World War II but was totally burned out and collapsed the next day. It has been reconstructed as a landmark symbol of reconciliation between former warring enemies. It is small in size but I have to say it is one of the most beautiful churches I ever ...
Advantages: An inexpensive treat that is not too unhealthy. Disadvantages: Just watch out for orange drips on the t-shirts!!

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 ...
