Dresden Tuesday Afternoon (cont)

Cable car

On Tuesday afternoon I met Beate for the first time my email partner who lives in Dresden near the "Blue Wonder" bridge.  We were both a little nervous, but with her English and German and me with mine we got on like a house on fire!    We walked along the banks of the River Elbe to the bridge (photo left taken from Luisenhof) and then crossed the bridge to take a trip on the cable car (oldest in the world) up to the Luisenhof, once a royal residence but now a restaurant with a balcony that looks out over the city.   We came down again and wandered back to a Beer Garden on the banks of the Elbe where we downed a glass of beer each.  A lovely afternoon but hot!
