Day 2 of our stay in Germany was a trip North of Dresden, towards the cradle
of porcelain and wine (as advertised by marketing specialists in our guide) -
to Meissen. On
the way to the town we passed the charming and delightful German villages, we
enjoyed drinking local beers and wines as well as eating some German meals (and
these were not Kebabs this time) in Biergartens that somehow can be spotted on
the way from Dresden to Meissen every 2 to 5 km. As
if the Germans knew that every few kilometers a weary wanderer wants to take a break
from pedalling. If
you decided to stop in every Biergarten to consume low-alcoholic Radler (its
name comes from German “Rad” which means nothing more than “a bike”), you would
end up being pretty pie-eyed in Meissen.
