Today we left the hotel about 11am and took a tram to Starometska (?) and then via the metro a train to the main line station. We then took the train to Dresden. It was hot and very crowded but Shiel and I got seats in a 6 seat compartment. Some people had to sit on small pull down seats in the corridor. The train was on time in the Czech Republic but lost time after crossing the border.
In some ways it was like going back in time, as we travelled a lot of the way near the banks of the Elbe. I expected to see Shiel or myself walking along the Elbe Fussweg (our terminology) below us.
Our hotel is only 300m from the main station.
We went out for a meal in the evening to celebrate Kate Middleton's good timing in delivering the future Monarch of England on Shiel's birthday and William's good sense in producing a future Duke (not Duchess?) of Cornwall.
