After a resting day on Monday Tuesday afternoon saw us arriving at Meissen. Passing Dresden on the river was marvellous. All the best skylines in plain view for us.
Almost no big boats, we had the Elbe all to ourselves.
I had switched to a Werner Shuna after all. It was reduced for some reasons :-D and the effect was immense.
The river was never very wide and the scenery lined with hills.
Due to the rather short distance we arrived at Meissen before 4 pm and participated in a sightseeing. Where Dresden is posh, Meissen is enchanted with narrow, thousand-year old streets and picturesque houses. You can tell it is the home of a famous China-manufacture: China-shops all along the roads. Like most cities, there is still a stark contrast between freshly restored houses and those that have preserved the run-down looks of 40 years of utter neglect.
As always, we were received warmly with yummy local beer and food.
The night was very calm and we slept well.
We have reached a state of popularity because nobody is willing to believe that we can store our stuff in our boats :-D people are watching us pack with big eyes.
