Eastern Europe Day 2

29th March 2014

Berlin- Dresden- Prague

After a hearty hotel breakfast, we are on our way to Dresden. Still in Germany. Dresden is so much quieter and beautiful than Berlin. The paces of the people are so much slower. 

Along the way, fog became thicker and Johnny, started nagging on those people who are wearing too little. Scaring them of the cold weather, the snow and the sickness. 

Finally after a little nap, we arrived. One of the tour's highlight? Pork knuckle! Or Schweinshaxe in German. A little sua ku for many of us. We all thought the plate in between us is for the knuckle. To ALL of our surprise, we got 1 pork knuckle EACH! and it's HUGE! 

Pork Knuckle with German Beer! A tick to my To-do-list! And this marks the start of my beer for every meal habit. LOL. 

After which, we travel all the way to Prague. 

Czechoslovakia existed from Oct 1918 as a sovereign state in Central Europe when it declared its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. 
From 1939 to 1945, it was forced into the Nazi Germany. A treaty was signed between Czech and the Soviet union, forming the USSR.
Finally on 1 Jan 1993, Czech Republic and Slovakia parted peacefully. 

Along the way, small and tiny houses caught our eyes. Cameras were all busy capturing the beautiful landscapes while I enjoy the view with my own eyes after taking 1 or 2 photos. 

Went for a little city tour because our very nice guide volunteer to take us out in the night to appreciate Czech in another way.
