We had a fantastic holiday in Bettina and Wolfram’s comfortable and spacious home in the amazing city of Dresden. Communication was great and we arrived to a welcome meal, thoughtful gifts and excellent information. The house has a large, airy and bright living space and we loved the delightful terrace where we were able to eat out in the evenings. 17 days was not long enough to do everything that Dresden and the surroundings have to offer! We really enjoyed exploring the area and learning about the history. We fell in love with the Aldstadt and visited museums and galleries, saw a show at the Opera House and enjoyed delicious meals and the music in the square in the evenings. Public transport is excellent and we also had use of the family’s lovely car and bikes. We took a long bike ride along the Elbe river to the stunning Pillnitz Castle. We visited the beautiful town of Meissen twice – once by paddle steamer. A trip to the amazing Schloss Moritzburg was made even more special by the steam train ride there from Radebeurg. The swimming pools at Pirna provided much fun on rainy days. A winemaking tour and tasting at the vineyard and dinner at Schloss Wackerbath was a real highlight. We did not want to leave but returned reluctantly to the UK to find that everything had been left immaculate at home. Thank you Bettina, Wolfram, Friedi and Elisabeth for a wonderful exchange.
