Tom and I had a very nice stay with my friend Annemarie in Leipzig (my bro and I met her in an Argentine hostel and she so graciously offered us her apartment for the night) - rented a rowboat on a river in town and paddled around for the afternoon with some local brews, then we all had dinner and we went out with her for a bit to her colleague's art show then to her favorite local spot which was this giant bar and dance club that looked more like a dungeon. Very cool, and Leipzig has a solid vibe.Tom and I took the train south this morning and stopped in Dresden, Germany for a few hours. Beautiful town - old looking architecture (though much of it had to be rebuilt after the WWII firebombings) and situated right on the Elbe river. A beautiful mix of new commercial development with the old surviving buildings and churches. And the weather was perfect, as were the bratwursts and beers we took down in the town square before catching the train to Prague.
About to head out on a pub crawl here in Prague. First impression of the hostel is that it is a decent one. And more sausages are in our near future (in more ways than one as we are sleeping in a six bed dorm).
