Baroque Dresden
Pierre-Jean, Franck, Bénédicte
On top of the Semper Oper
The Orangerie
In the Zwinger
Royal palace
Like a phoenix finally rising from the ashes of war
The Knights' Procession on the wall of the palace
Bridge over the Elbe
In the centre of town
Not posed at all!
The roof of the Fine Arts Academy
Brand-new old buildings
The jewel of Dresden: The Church of Our Lady
Like standing inside a Mr Kipling's Viennese Fancy
The venue for our second evening buffet dinner dance
Béné in a typical moment
Looking straight up the Elbe into town
The river is full of boat traffic
Candlelit dinner
The sun sets
If you look carefully, the sky is a German flag
Get down!
Franck, Marie-Laure & Béné see photos from the night before
A swinging party
Dance floor action
The ex cigarette factory that was disguised as a mosque
The Semper Oper opera house
The Royal Chapel
Dresden as seen from the water
The old Saxon foreign ministry
A ship approaches the Blue Wonder bridge
It's a wonder because they painted it green but it turned blue
Béné & I huddle for warmth on our "boat"
Our proud wavesteed
The weather warms up just in time for lunch
Béné & Franck enjoy the sun
Picnic in a vineyard - bring it on!
Elderflowers
Stately gardens
Some of the centre of Dresden is still a building site
The Semper Oper in the sun
Now THAT's what I call a stretch limo!
Our dinner destination: the rooftop restaurant
Admiring the dome from upstairs
A great way to disguise a chimney
Me, Astrid, Franck, Marie-Laure, Pierre-Jean, Béné: the francophone crew
Yes, it WAS really that funny
Night falls over Dresden
Memories of Istanbul
